I love strawberry flavored drinks. Now, it can't be fake strawberry flavoring...only real strawberries will do! After enjoying strawberry teas and lemonades, I decided to try and make my own (see my method below). I had great results.
So when Crystal Light came out with a Mojito flavored drink mix, I wondered how it would taste to add strawberries to it. I thought, why not give it a try? What resulted was a yummy, minty, refreshing drink. If you don't like the strawberry seeds, you may want to strain the strawberry liquid before adding it to your pitcher.
Here is the recipe:Ingredients:
1 packet Crystal Light Mojito flavor mix
10 frozen strawberries
Water to fill pitcher
1. Microwave the frozen strawberries for one minute to thaw them.
2. Add just a bit of water and then use your blender to blend them into a thick syrupy consistency.
3. Put your Crystal Light packet in the pitcher, add the strawberry mixture, and then fill with water.
4. Garnish with mint leaves, if desired.
Notes:
Try this same method with lemonade mixes and iced teas, as well. Yumm!
Fresh berries can probably be used, as well, but I have never tried them. Would you let me know how they work if you give them a try?
