Chef tips
For a deeper flavor, chill the strawberry base in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes before serving. Do not add too much rosewater, as it can easily overpower the drink.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan version. If you do not have pink peppercorns, use a small pinch of freshly ground black pepper for a different but pleasant profile. Mint can be replaced with fresh basil.
