Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Strawberries

    Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and cut them into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

  2. 2

    Make the Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the prepared strawberries, lemon juice, and the sugar syrup. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Strain the Mixture

    Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds and pulp for a smoother texture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Chill the strawberry citrus mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Serve in glasses over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
