Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh strawberries
• 60 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 30 ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, orange zest, lemon zest, and honey. Whisk the mixture until the honey dissolves completely.

Step 4

Add the sliced strawberries to the bowl with the citrus mixture. Gently toss to coat all the strawberries evenly with the citrus infusion.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the strawberries marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Once marinated, give the strawberries a quick stir before serving.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with freshly torn mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Citrus Infused Strawberries as they are, or use them as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
