Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, until the syrup is deep pink and fragrant.
  3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof container, pressing on the solids gently. Cool slightly, then pour into a clean bottle or jar.

Notes

The syrup will thicken as it cools. Store in the fridge and shake well before each use.
