I served this at a summer-time gathering and it was a big hit. I had a bumper crop fresh mint and this helped to keep the population in check. The recipe originally came from "Festive Picnics" by Pamela Sheldon jons and Jennifer Barry.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar shopping list
- 3 cups of water shopping list
- 1 cup of loosely packed fresh mint leaves, plus 6 sprigs for garnish shopping list
- juice of 6 lemons shopping list
- 1 cup coarsely chopped fresh strawberries; plus 6 whole strawberries for garnish shopping list
- 2 liters sparkling spring or mineral water, chilled shopping list
How to make it
- In a small sauce pan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the mint leaves, lemon juice and chopped strawberries.
- Remove from the heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To serve, strain and discard the strawberries and mint leaves.
- Mix with the mineral water. Serve over ice and garnish with whole strawberries and mint springs.
