Method:

To make the homemade strawberry syrup

Combine strawberries and maple syrup or coconut sugar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and then lower the heat. Simmer for 25-30 minutes and allow to cool. Strain the mix and use the syrup for the spritzer. A little waste free hack – keep the strawberry pulp in a glass jar and refrigerate, it’s delicious served onto of plant based yoghurt with crunchy granola as a great breakfast treat!

To assemble the spritzer

Place 1 tbsp of homemade strawberry syrup into the bottom of a glass, fill with ice, top with ¼ cup soda water and ½ cup Absolute Zero Nectar. Enjoy!
