Strawberry Simple Syrup
Serves 3215 mins prep30 mins cook
Give me fresh strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 45 minutes, and I will give you the tastiest homemade strawberry simple syrup you have ever had. I love how the berries add natural sweetness along with an unmistakable flavor, with a delicate ruby hue. This syrup is great for cocktails, lemonade, tea, and desserts. Make this, and you will never use store-bought syrup again.
