Ingredients
Method
Techniques
Put halved strawberries, blueberries and about half the white sugar in a bowl.
- freshly halved strawberries
- blueberries
- white sugar
Mash briefly with a potato masher just until the blueberries are broken open; not to a puree.
Peel only the yellow zest off the lemons with a sharp vegetable peeler, no white pith, and add it to the bowl; set the lemons aside for juicing.
Cover and leave on the counter at least two hours (six here), stirring once in a while; place the plastic over the top, not on the surface.
- 5 cup boiling water
Transfer the mixture into five cups of boiling water, turn off the heat immediately and let sit about five minutes, stirring a couple of times, until the sugar dissolves.
Dissolving in boiling water
Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a heatproof metal bowl, pressing only lightly so little fruit puree goes through.
- 6 whole lemons
Cool to room temperature, then squeeze in the juice of the six zested lemons, adding more to taste.
Cooling, then the lemon juice
- ice
- extra fruit
Serve in ice-filled glasses, garnished with a little extra fruit.
