This easy strawberry simple syrup recipe is perfect for cocktails, mocktails, lemonade, and more! It's a delicious way to capture the taste of fresh strawberries.
Combine sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and water in a medium saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Once simmering, reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and released their juices.
Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for another 10 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Allow the syrup to cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.
Notes
