Strawberries in Grand Marnier with Mint Sugar
A simple way to finish your meal with flair!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 punnet of strawberries
- 2 tbsp Grand Marnier
- Handful of mint leaves
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- White Chocolate Dipped Almond Bread to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Halve the strawberries and place in individual serving dishes.
- Sprinkle each dish with 1/2 tbsp of Grand Marnier.
- Leave to stand at room temperature for at least an hour.
- Meantime, make your herb sugar.
- Place your mint and your sugar in the bowl a mortar and grind with your pestle until them mint is finely ground and well combined with the sugar, which will be a lovely green.
- Alternatively, place both in your food processor and whiz until you achieve the same effect
Notes
- You could use basil instead of mint. Or a mix of basil and black pepper.
- Any Orange flavoured liqueur could be used instead of Grand Marnier.
- Any left over herb sugar can be used to rim a cocktail glass, or used in place of regular sugar in anything else you are making – I’m thinking lemonade would be amazing.
