How to Make Strawberries In Lemon Lavender Syrup
- Rinse 1 pound of fresh strawberries thoroughly and drain well.
- Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters. Place them in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender (or 2-3 whole cardamom seeds). Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the lavender (or cardamom) has infused the syrup.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the lavender blossoms (or cardamom seeds).
- Pour the strained syrup over the prepared strawberries in the bowl. Gently toss to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Serve the strawberries and syrup immediately in attractive glass bowls or stemmed glasses.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
- For ahead-of-time preparation: Prepare the syrup in advance and let it cool completely. Toss with berries just before serving.
- Enjoy! Makes 4 servings.
