One thing that I think is completely overlooked is making your own syrups at home. It is incredibly easy to make any fruit syrup, especially strawberry syrup, and it takes less than 20 minutes to make! Ever since I started making my own strawberry syrup at home, I have never looked back, not once. It tastes far better than store bought strawberry syrup, and it doesn’t have any of that artificial taste, which is why I love making it myself!

Strawberry Syrup Uses:

• Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or French toast.

• Swirl into oatmeal or yogurt bowls.

• Mix into smoothie bowls for extra sweetness.

• Pour over ice cream, cheesecake, or pound cake.

• Use as a filling for crepes or layered cakes.

• Drizzle on brownies or cupcakes for a fruity finish.

• Stir into lemonade, iced tea, or sparkling water.

• Add to milkshakes, smoothies, or frappes.

• Mix into cocktails like daiquiris, margaritas, or mojitos.

Ingredients:

Strawberry Syrup

• Strawberries

• Sugar

• Water

Steps to make strawberry syrup:

1. Wash strawberries thoroughly.

   • You can’t go wrong making sure your fresh produce is clean!

2. Quarter the strawberries.

   • This helps the strawberries cook faster and release all of their juices.

3. Combine with sugar and water in a pot.

   • Aim to have a larger pot than you think you need.

4. Cook for 15 minutes.

   • Or until the strawberries turn a pale red color and begin to get mushy.

5. Cool to room temperature.

   • I like to put my strawberry syrup in a squeeze bottle for easy serving. If I’m not using a squeeze bottle, I typically put my syrups into mason jars!
