Description
Berry flavorful Strawberry Simple Syrup will add a pop of fresh fruity flavor to your favorite drinks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb strawberries (stems removed and quartered)
- 1 cup filtered water
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a medium pot over low heat, add strawberries, water, and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves then increase heat to medium, bringing to a low boil for 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Use a potato masher or back of a wooden spoon to mash down strawberries as they soften.
- Remove the pan from heat and allow the pot to cool for 5-10 minutes, then place a fine mesh sieve over a heat-proof bowl, and strain the syrup through the sieve. You can mash the strawberries slightly to get all of the juices into the bowl.
- Transfer the syrup into a glass jar with a lid. Cool completely before storing in the fridge.
Notes
- The harder you mash, the more strawberry bits may come through.
