Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 ripe plums, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey (or any natural sweetener)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the strawberries, plums, water, and honey. Blend until smooth and all the fruits are well pureed.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing down with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
- Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher and stir well. The lemon juice will enhance the tangy aroma and add a refreshing zest to the drink.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the strawberry plum juice over the ice. Stir gently.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added burst of freshness and a pop of color.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- Substitutions: If plums aren’t in season, you can use peaches or apricots for a different yet equally delightful twist.
- For an extra fizz, top off your drink with a splash of sparkling water.
- Presentation: Serve in chilled glasses for an extra touch of elegance and to keep your drink refreshingly cool.
- This juice makes for a wonderful base for popsicles – just pour into molds, freeze, and enjoy!
Storage and Substitutions:
- Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
- If honey is unavailable or you prefer a vegan option, agave syrup or maple syrup can be used as alternatives.
Pairings and Complements:
