Active time: 20 minutes
Strawberry simple syrup
- 2 ½ c (400g) whole strawberries
- 2 c (470g) water
- 1 c (200g) cane sugar
- Wash the strawberries and cut off their leaves.
- Blend the strawberries and water.
- Strain the solids.
- Combine the strained strawberry juice and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat it on low for about five minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.
Tips:
- To strain the juice, use a fine mesh strainer and use a spatula to squeeze out as much juice as possible. You can also use a nut milk back and squeeze out the excess juice.
- Don’t allow the strawberry and sugar mixture to get too hot, as it could activate pectins and turn the mixture into jam.
