Strawberries with Mint Whipped Cream

You can also try the mint syrup (step 1) to sweeten iced tea or lemonade. For a bracing cocktail, add a splash to a glass filled with seltzer, vodka, and lemon.

Strawberries with Mint Whipped Cream
  • prep 10 mins
  • total time 20 mins
  • servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 2 packed cups fresh mint leaves and stems, coarsely chopped, plus sprigs for garnish

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 quart strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Make syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring sugar, mint, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Remove from heat; steep 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids. Let cool (makes about 1/4 cup).

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/4 cup syrup (store any remaining syrup); if needed, re-whip cream to stiffen.

  3. Step 3

    Starting with strawberries, spoon alternating layers of strawberries and cream into four serving glasses. Top each with a mint sprig.

    I would like to know how you end up with One Cup of syrup when you only started out with 2 tbsp of water and only a 1/4 cup of sugar which you bring to a boil (which will take even more volume away). The mint leaves are not going to extract that much juice. Can someone please explain?
    It seems to me only a very small amt. of syrup would be left and certainly not a full cup! Thx! :)
