(From Joylicious:)
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
- 8 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup honey water (1/4 honey 1/4 water) <— you can also use agave
- 4 mint-flavored tea bags
- In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Allow water to cool down to a warm temperature (around 110 degrees). Add 3/4 pint strawberries and mint. Allow to steep for 10 minutes then add honey water and tea bags.
- Strain mixture through a fine seive and mash strawberries to extract more juice. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until serving.
- Pour over ice. Garnish with remaining sliced strawberries.
If you do not feel it’s sweet enough, feel free to add more honey/agave. The reason I did not steep the tea leaves in boiling water is because with Raw Foods, they have a rule where they do not cook anything above 118F. However, if you could care less, feel free to simmer the strawberries and mint at a low heat for about 6 minutes, add the honey water and tea bags and simmer for an additional minute.
The pictures on this woman's blog are simply incredible. I kind of want to be her. Or in a room with AC.
Mmm, that sounds yummy, but complicated. The pictures look great, but is it easy?
