Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 6 leaves Mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems.
Place the strawberries into a blender along with cold water, honey (or sugar), and fresh lime juice.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and no chunks remain.
Take a fine-mesh strainer and place it over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove any seeds, using a spoon to press the liquid through.
Pour the strained juice back into the blender and add the mint leaves and ice cubes.
Pulse the blender a few times to lightly crush the mint and blend in the ice to create a slightly slushy texture.
Pour the Strawberry Cooler into glasses and garnish with additional mint leaves or a sliced strawberry, if desired.
