Description

This Easy Strawberry Simple Syrup recipe is a quick and delightful way to infuse your beverages and desserts with fresh, natural strawberry flavor. Made by simmering fresh strawberries with sugar and water, this syrup is perfect for adding a fruity twist to cocktails, lemonades, iced teas, and more. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s a versatile and vibrant homemade syrup that keeps well in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries (washed and hulled)
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the granulated sugar, water, and hulled strawberries to a gentle boil. This step dissolves the sugar and begins to infuse the water with strawberry flavor.
  2. Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes. During this time, the strawberries will release their color and flavor into the syrup, creating a vibrant pink liquid.
  3. Strain the syrup: Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the strawberry pieces from the liquid into a medium-sized bowl or heat-safe mason jars. Be careful not to press the strawberries, to keep the syrup clear and free of pulp.
  4. Cool the syrup: Cover the syrup with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it cool for 1 to 1.5 hours to chill and allow the flavors to meld further.
  5. Storage: Store the cooled strawberry simple syrup in the fridge, where it will keep fresh for up to one month. Use it to sweeten and flavor drinks or desserts as desired.

Notes

  • Do not press the strawberries during straining to avoid cloudiness in the syrup.
  • For stronger strawberry flavor, let the syrup steep with the berries off heat before straining, up to 30 minutes.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • The syrup can be mixed into cocktails, lemonades, iced teas, or drizzled over desserts.
  • Keep refrigerated to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
