👩🍳 How to Make Creamy Strawberry Apple Punch – Step by Step
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them. Cut them in halves or quarters for easier blending. Dice one fresh apple into small cubes and toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 2: Blend the Base
In a blender, add the halved strawberries, chilled apple juice, condensed milk or vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture—add honey or sugar if you prefer a sweeter flavor.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the blended mixture using a fine sieve to remove strawberry seeds. This step is optional but adds elegance to the texture.
Step 4: Assemble the Punch
In a large jug or punch bowl, combine the blended mix with the diced apple. Add ice cubes generously to chill it instantly. Stir well.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Pour the punch into glasses. Garnish each with a mint leaf and a fresh strawberry slice on the rim. Serve immediately while chilled.
💡 Tips and Variations
Make it fizzy: Add a splash of lemon soda or sparkling water before serving.
Go dairy-free: Use almond milk and coconut yogurt as a vegan alternative.
Add a twist: A few basil leaves blended with the strawberries bring a herby freshness.
