Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 4 cups cold water
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Mint sprigs and strawberry slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by washing the fresh strawberries and mint leaves thoroughly. The sweet, juicy scent of ripe strawberries invites you to commence this delightful process.
2. In a blender, combine chopped strawberries, mint leaves, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and the mixture is a vibrant pink with green flecks of mint.
3. Pour the blended strawberry-mint mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to press the mixture through, extracting every last drop of flavor.
4. Add cold water to the pitcher and stir well to combine. The aroma mingles, promising a refreshing and rejuvenating drink.
5. Taste the juice. Adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary, stirring until completely dissolved.
6. Pour the Strawberry Mint Juice over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of strawberry for an extra touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh strawberries aren’t available, frozen strawberries work wonderfully. Just let them thaw a bit before blending.
• For a naturally sweetened version, replace sugar with honey or agave syrup.
• Add a splash of sparkling water before serving for a bubbly twist that’s perfect for parties.
• To make it a family event, involve the kids in the hulling and blending process – they’ll love seeing and tasting the fruits of their labor.
• For an extra refresher, serve the juice in chilled glasses and enjoy the added coolness.

Storage and Substitutions

Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good shake or stir before serving again.

• If you prefer your juice without pulp, you can strain it a second time through a cheesecloth for an ultra-smooth texture.
• Out of fresh mint? Substitute with a few drops of mint extract or mint syrup, adjusting to taste.

Pairings and Complements

Strawberry Mint Juice pairs delightfully with light snacks and desserts. Consider serving it alongside:

• Cheese and fruit platters
• Lemon scones or shortbread cookies
• Fresh and vibrant salads, such as a summer berry salad
• Mini sandwiches or wraps with a mild, creamy cheese
