Fresh Starberry Juice

Fresh strawberry juice is a special treat without special treatment. I first tasted something like this juice at La Panza es Primero, our favorite Mexican restaurant in Madrid. It's just pure strawberry happiness. No thick and icy distraction of a smoothly...just juice without a juicer (!) and plenty of vitamin C.

Possible additions: mint, lime, basil.
Serves two.

• 3 cups fresh strawberries
• 3/4 cup water (add more depending on desired thickness)
  
• small handful of ice cubes (for instant chill)
  
• 1 tablespoon sugar, agave, or honey (optional)
  

1. Remove stems, halve, and rinse strawberries well.
   
2. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend.
   
3. Serve immediately.
