Strawberries are a delicious red fruit that can be enjoyed alone or added to a variety of recipes. However, they can sometimes lack flavor, which can be disappointing. Discover our 3 simple tips to spice up the taste of these fruits when they need a boost.
Use sugar and lemon
THE sugar and lemon are two common ingredients in many strawberry recipes. They can also be used to enhance the flavor of bland strawberries. For this trick, just mix the strawberries cut into pieces with a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to absorb the flavors. The sugar helps sweeten the strawberries while the lemon juice adds a hint of tartness, which can help intensify their flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt to help balance the flavors.

Infuse with mint
Mint is a fresh, aromatic herb that can add a bright flavor to bland strawberries. For this trick, you can infuse fresh mint leaves in hot water for a few minutes. Then, remove the leaves and add the chopped strawberries to the infused water. Let sit for about an hour to allow the strawberries to absorb the mint flavor. If you don’t have fresh mint, you can use dried mint or even mint tea bags.
Add vanilla
Vanilla is a hot and sweet spice which can add a depth of subtle flavor to strawberries. For this trick, you can mix chopped strawberries with a tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon vanilla extract. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the strawberries to absorb the flavors.
