Prepare the strawberries

• Rinse and hull the strawberries, then roughly chop them.
• Place the strawberries in a saucepan or bowl.

Add the sweeteners and flavorings

• Add the sugar, honey, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste and a sprinkle of sea salt.
• Stir in the dragon fruit powder for color, if using.

Macerate the strawberries

• Stir everything together and let sit so the sugar draws out the juices.

Blend until smooth

• Blend the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth.
• For a thicker purée, simmer gently for a few minutes, then cool.

Store

• Pour into a clean jar and refrigerate.
• Use in strawberry matcha lattes or other drinks.
