It's been a long time since my last update. I have been busy mastering my motherhood the past month with our new baby boy. Man, it is not easy! But after he just passed a month, I finally got a hang of it (slightly). So I am finally back with my own routine :)
This recipe was dated back when I went to strawberry picking for the first time. I was at the end of my second trimester, picking strawberries with the heavy belly. But we managed to get over 10 lbs of strawberries from 4 bare hands! Look at those cute ruby gems!
strawberries is by far one of my most favorite fruits for desserts. So in order to make fully use of these brautiful gems, I came up with 4 baking projects. Hope you will like them!
Project #1: Iced Tea (servings for 4)
Ingredients:
Strawberries a handful (8-10 stemmed and cut)
lemon juice 1 tsp
honey 2 tbsp
1 pot of hot tea
2 tea bags (preferrably Darjeeling, Asaam or Earl Grey)
Steps:
- Pureed the strawberries and add all the ingredients. Mix well
- Set aside puree. Sip the tea bags in hot water in the tea pot for 10 minutes. Use a towel/cover to cover the teapot to ensure better quality
- Add ice cubes till 1/2 cup full, add about 2 tbsp of puree
- remove tea bags and set the tea cool for 1 minute
- pour tea immediately into the cup. The ice should be able to ice the tea right away
- The tea should be double stronger than usual since the ice will slightly dilute the flavor
- cook the puree into a compote for more concentrated flavor. Make sure to cool down to room temperature before serving
