Directions

1. Simple syrup is simple - it’s one part sugar to one part water.
2. Cook sugar, water and mint over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved and water boils.
3. Remove and let cool. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
4. Clean and cut up the strawberries. Add the syrup and lemon zest to strawberries and let sit for a few hours. (AKA macerate).
5. Serve strawberries over vanilla ice cream for a refreshing dessert.
