🧋 Instructions
1. Prep the Strawberries
Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
2. Blend Until Smooth
In a high-powered blender, combine:
-
2 cups strawberries
-
4 cups apple juice
-
1 cup cream or non-dairy milk
Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Sweeten to Taste
Taste the mixture. If needed, add up to ¼ cup honey, maple syrup, or agave, and blend again. If your strawberries are super ripe, you may not need any sweetener at all!
4. Serve Over Ice
Pour the blended punch over ice cubes in a large pitcher or directly into individual glasses.
5. Garnish and Enjoy
Add a slice of strawberry, a sprig of mint, or even a lemon wheel for that finishing touch. Serve immediately.
