Strawberry Syrup
This Strawberry Syrup is an easy way to add fresh strawberry flavor to your favorite drinks. Made with just strawberries, sugar, and water, it's perfect for cocktails, lemonade, iced tea, mocktails, and even homemade strawberry milk.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh washed & quartered strawberries (frozen strawberries work too)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Place 1 pound fresh washed & quartered strawberries (frozen strawberries work too), 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar in a medium to large pot on the stovetop. Stir to mix and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn heat down to low and allow to simmer until the sugar has dissolved and berries are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Then, let the mixture cool some. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass or heat-proof container, making sure to squeeze any excess juice from the strawberries. Discard the extra berries (or serve them over ice cream!).
- Let cool completely and then store in the fridge for up to about 2 weeks.
Notes
You can use this syrup over ice cream or pancakes or use it to make cocktails, mocktails, strawberry milk or pink lemonade!
To freeze: Once completely cooled to room temperature, pour simple syrup into a large zip-top baggie and store it in the freezer for up to about 6 months. To thaw, place it in the refrigerator overnight. You can also place the frozen sealed container of simple syrup in a bowl of lukewarm water for about 30 minutes.
