Description

Sweet strawberries and fresh mint combine for a simple, refreshing dessert. Perfect for a hot day!


Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries
  • 0.5 - 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1-2 sprigs mint

Instructions

  1. Rinse the strawberries under cool water, trim the tops, discard them, quarter the strawberries, and put them in a bowl.
  2. Sprinkle sugar on top and toss to evenly distribute.
  3. Wash the mint thoroughly, pluck the leaves off the stem, roughly chop the mint, and transfer it to the bowl with the strawberries. Toss to distribute evenly.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes or until ready to eat.

Notes

  • For a sweeter dessert, increase the sugar to 1 tablespoon or more, to taste.
  • Muddle a few mint leaves before adding for a more intense mint flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
