Delicious homemade refreshments arrived!
It's been way waaaay too hot here lately, and instead of drinking plain water or pop, or beer I decided to do something with leftover strawberry I had around. The result is this heavenly strawberry syrup that you can use for mixed drinks, champagne, or homemade lemonade.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh strawberries;
- 1/2-2 cups sugar;
- 2 cardamom pods (optional);
- juice of half a lemon.
Directions:
- In a saucepan combine sugar, water and lemon juice, simmer for about 5-8 minutes, make sure the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Clean strawberries and remove the stems. Add into the saucepan, throw in a couple cardamom pods (not sure if makes much of a difference, I tried it and it tasted the same as it would without, might wanna increase the amount of pods).
Cook at a low-medium heat for approximately 20-30 minutes. Let cool and strain the mixture. Discard the strawberry pulp.
Keep refrigerated.
Garnish:
- ice cubes;
- fresh mint leaves;
- lemon slices or lemon rind.
Add desired amount of strawberry cordial to filtered water that you normally drink or lemonade, make sure it is not too sweet and enjoy on a hot summer day like today. Works amazingly when you have friends over, they would be into it (hopefully haha).
My experience is that this recipe takes lots of strawberries and they need to be extremely ripe.
Last year I made something similar to this and wound up with red colored sugar water. With some imagination I was mixing it with soda water to make strawberry soda, but it was a bit of a stretch.

Well, I'd recommend giving it another chance, I got a nice strawberry flavor in my drink, even after I watered it down.

Да, было жарко в последние несколько дней, но, наверное, лучше так, чем холод хахаха. А у вас?

я сейчас в Воронеже, у нас тоже жарко, но хорошо, что есть легкий ветерок. Иначе было бы душно, но здесь хороший климат.
