Strawberry Simple Syrup
Ingredients
- 16 oz fresh strawberries
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups organic sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut the berries in half. (Technically it's okay to leave on the green tops! I remove them anyway because it just feels illegal not to).
- Add strawberries, sugar, and water to a pot over medium heat. Heat until it is steaming/simmering, but ideally don't let it boil. Once steaming, reduce the heat to low and simmer for ~20 mins, occasionally stirring.
- Remove from heat. Once cool, add lemon juice and vanilla. Strain the entire mixture through a mesh sieve.
- Lastly, transfer to a mason jar/syrup jar. Keeps in the fridge for ~3 weeks.
