Strawberry Simple Syrup
Strawberry simple syrup is great to flavour and sweeten beverages like lattes, iced teas, sparkling water and cocktails. This recipe is juicy, sweet and fresh tasting with no mushy strawberry pieces!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries washed, hulled and halved
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium-heat, combine strawberries, water and sugar.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat after simmering for 15-20 minutes. The liquid should be deep red and the strawberries should be lighter in colour.
- Pour the simple syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the strawberries. To avoid a very cloudy syrup, do not squeeze the strawberries to get more juice out of them. Save the strawberries to mix them into yogurt, ice cream, top your french toast or pancakes.
- Let the strawberry syrup cool then pour into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
