step 1
In a medium saucepan, put Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup), Fresh Mint Leaves (1 1/2 cups), and Water (1 cup) and bring to a boil. Reduce the water and mint mixture to a glaze consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
step 2
Remove from heat and steep for 5-10 minutes.
step 3
After it has steeped, strain the mixture and discard the solids. Let it cool down to room temperature.
step 4
While the syrup cools, in a large bowl, whip the Heavy Cream (1 1/2 cups) until it reaches stiff peaks. You can check this by the cream standing straight up when you turn the whisk facing up.
step 5
Gently fold in 1/4 cup syrup, being careful not to break the stiff peaks. If needed, re-whip the cream to stiff peaks.
step 6
Spoon with the Fresh Strawberries (3 cups) and alternate between layers of strawberries and cream. Garnish with extra mint leaves on top.
