This 3-ingredient Strawberry Simple Syrup is incredibly easy to make, and will elevate any homemade drink or cocktail! I like to use it in this Strawberry Iced Tea.
Ingredients
8ozstrawberries,stems removed and sliced (1.5 cups, measured)
1cupwater
1cupgranulated sugar
Instructions
Combine the strawberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan set over medium high heat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, until the liquid is deeply red and the strawberry are soft.
Strain the strawberries out from the simple syrup, making sure not to press down on the strawberries. Otherwise your syrup will be cloudy.
Chill the strawberry simple syrup in the fridge for an hour or two until cold*, then enjoy!
Notes
*If you're in a rush, you can chill it faster by putting the container in an ice bath.
