Servings: 1.5 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Strawberries quartered
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste or extract
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and quarter the strawberries. You will need about 2 cups.
- Combine the organic cane sugar, water, quartered strawberries, and vanilla to a saucepan and stir together.
- Bring the mixture to a slight boil then immediately reduce to a simmer over medium for 8-10 minutes. Please note that it's a simple syrup so it shouldn’t be thick like caramel but will thicken slightly as it cools.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl or measuring cup, and carefully pour the syrup through it. Avoid using a spoon to press or mash the strawberries; instead, allow the syrup to naturally strain through the mesh to maintain clarity and prevent cloudiness.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature and use in cocktails, matcha, sparkling water, coffees, and more!
Notes
Allow the strawberry simple syrup to cool completely then store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
