Ingredients

 2 x 250g punnets fresh strawberries, washed, hulled

750ml (3 cups) diet lemonade, chilled

500ml (2 cups) unsweetened apple juice, chilled

500ml (2 cups) sparkling natural mineral water, chilled

250ml (1 cup) freshly brewed tea, cooled

1 bunch mint, leaves picked

Ice, to serve

Method

Step 1
 - Place half the strawberries in the jug of a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a punch bowl. Finely chop the remaining strawberries and add to the bowl.

Step 2
 - Add the lemonade, juice, mineral water, tea and mint to the bowl or jug and stir to combine. Serve with ice.

Time plan tip:  Prepare to the end of step 1 up to 4 hours ahead. Cover and place in the fridge. Continue from step 2 just before serving. How to sieve berries: For the Strawberry apple punch you'll need a seed-free puree. A good trick, after blending the strawberries, is to strain the puree by gently pushing it through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon. Tip: Place extra strawberries, finely chopped, in an ice cube tray and fill with water or diet lemonade and freeze. Add to the punch just before serving.
