About this recipe
Strawberry and mint infusion is a fruity, herbal drink made with strawberries, fresh mint, a slice of lime, and honey. The strawberries add gentle sweetness and color, the mint brings a cooling aroma, and the lime balances everything with fresh acidity. Steep the infusion only briefly to preserve the mint's fresh character and the fruit's aroma. Add the honey after the infusion has cooled slightly, once the strawberry and lime flavors have infused the water.
Ingredients
Servings: 2
500 ml water
4 strawberries
a few mint leaves
1 teaspoon honey
1 lime slice
Steps
Wash and hull the strawberries, then cut them in half. Gently bruise the mint leaves, and reserve the lime slice until after steeping.
Pour hot water over the strawberries and mint, cover, and steep for 5 minutes. The strawberries should soften slightly but do not need to break down completely.
Add the lime slice and stir briefly. If the mint begins to taste too strong, remove some of the leaves before serving.
Stir in the honey after the infusion has cooled slightly. Serve with the strawberries in the cup, or strain the infusion if you prefer a lighter consistency.
