Ingredients
- 1 quart strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Juice of 1/2 a small lemon (or about 1 teaspoon juice)
- 1 teaspoon Nielsen Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 - 1 cup coconut milk (from a can)
- Mint (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean paste. Use a pastry blender or potato masher to mash the strawberries up a bit with the other ingredients. Stir in the water. Allow the mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into a blender and blend on high until completely liquid. Add the coconut milk and blend again--you can add more if you'd like it creamier.
- Serve the drink over ice with sprigs of fresh mint for garnish.
Notes
- If you'd like to make this ahead of time, store in the fridge and blend well before serving.
