Strawberries with Mint Whipped Cream

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

Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 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. 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 cup).
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in cup syrup (store any remaining syrup); if needed, re-whip cream to stiffen.
  3. Starting with strawberries, spoon alternating layers of strawberries and cream into four serving glasses. Top each with a mint sprig.
