Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 500 grams Ice cubes
- 1 handful Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Hull and wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into quarters.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries break down and the sugar is completely dissolved, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled slightly, transfer the strawberry mixture to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth.
Strain the blended strawberry syrup through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds and pulp. Set aside to cool completely.
While the syrup cools, prepare the shaved ice. If you have a shaved ice machine, use it to shave the ice cubes into fine flakes. If not, place the ice cubes in a blender and pulse until you achieve a snow-like consistency.
Distribute the shaved ice evenly into four serving bowls or glasses.
Pour the strawberry syrup generously over the shaved ice, ensuring each serving is well-coated.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve immediately for a delightful cooling treat.
