What each ingredient does

Strawberries
Supply the main flavor, colour and fruit body of the juice.
Sugar
Sweetens the juice and balances the fruit's tartness.

The step that matters

Skim when it boils. Foam that rises as the mixture boils carries impurities that can cloud the juice. Skimming it off keeps the strained juice clear and fresh-tasting.
