Yummy!

Step 1: Wash and cut the head (green part) of strawberries and put in microwavable container. Step 2: Coat over with sugar and lemon juice, heat for 2 minutes at 600W without cover. Step 3: When juice comes out, mix well and then heat 2 more minutes. Step 4: Remove the tiny bubbles and then heat for another 1~2 minutes. It is done when the strawberries are heated through-and-through.

Ingredients: Strawberries 150g Sugar 50~70g Lemon juice 1 teaspoon (can substitute using whole lemon) Can also use blackcurrants, blueberries, other type of berries, or cherry instead of strawberries.

For the Mors drink, use this ratio: 1 part of Varenye (liquid) to 5~6 parts of ice water. Add lemon juice for even better taste!

Prevent catching a cold by drinking it hot! You could also make carbonated or cocktail version of this as well.

Using microwave oven

By boiling it in an instant instead of simmering it, you have yourself a refreshing boiled sugar. Pairs well with Russian Tea. Also it's best sprinkled on ice cream or shaved ice!

If want to preserve it for a long time, keep it on an airtight container while still hot.

Russian handmade refreshments

The ones sold at a stall in metropolitan area serve it with refreshing herbs.
