How to Make Homemade Strawberry Syrup

Start by choosing ripe, sweet strawberries, as fresh fruit gives the syrup a more intense, natural flavor. Organic strawberries are ideal for healthy homemade recipes and natural fruit drinks.

Slow-cooking the strawberries extracts their juice, while adding sugar creates a thick fruit concentrate. Lemon juice balances the sweetness and also helps preserve the syrup naturally.
