Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 120 milliliters water
- 5 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them in half or quarters depending on their size. Set aside in a serving bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, lime juice, lime zest, and grated ginger.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Once the syrup has cooled, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger pieces and lime zest.
Pour the lime ginger syrup over the prepared strawberries and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Chill the strawberries in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the strawberries in individual bowls, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
