Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 250 milliliters dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and gently pat them dry using a paper towel.
Step 2
Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops, then slice them in half. If the strawberries are particularly large, you can quarter them for a more manageable size.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly with the sugar and lemon zest mixture.
Step 4
Pour the dry white wine over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully immersed in the wine. Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture so the flavors begin to meld.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the strawberries to macerate and absorb the wine. For a more intense flavor, you can refrigerate it for up to 2 hours.
Step 6
When ready to serve, divide the strawberries and wine into individual serving dishes or bowls.
Step 7
Garnish each serving with two fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added fragrance.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing dessert chilled.
