Very easy to make and fabulous craft cocktail addition. Also good with non-boozy lemonade. —Geeks with Drinks
Ingredients
-
2 cups
sugar
-
2 cups
water
-
2 cups
strawberries (hulled, sliced)
-
1/2 cup
mint leaves (chopped)
Directions
-
Combine sugar and water in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves (liquid will 'clear up')
-
Add strawberries and bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low. Cook (keeping a watchful eye!) for 12 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, add mint leaves. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.
-
Strain syrup carefully (it's probably still hot) and cool completely. I put mine in mason jars, but any airtight container will work. Will keep for approx. 2 weeks.
