Ingredients
Strawberry Syrup
- 1 lb fresh strawberries hulled and diced (or use frozen)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 2-3 tsp lemon juice optional, for brightness
Instructions
- Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and stir.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the strawberries soften, mash them with a potato masher.
- Continue simmering until the mixture thickens into a syrup (10–15 minutes).
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing with a spatula to extract as much syrup as possible. Discard pulp.
- Stir in lemon juice, then let the syrup cool and chill in the fridge.
Notes
💡 Tip: Mix 2–3 tablespoons of this syrup into 8 oz of club soda or sparkling water to make a fresh strawberry soda. Great in lemonades, cocktails, milkshakes, or over pancakes!
