Makes: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup diced dragon fruit (from about ½ a dragon fruit)
- ½ tsp dragon fruit powder, optional for color if using white dragon fruit
Instructions
- Put water, sugar, and diced dragon fruit in a medium-size saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, until mixture has thickened a bit and dragon fruit is softening.
- If you're using white flesh dragon fruit and want a pink syrup, stir in the dragon fruit powder at this time. Stir until powder is dissolved.
- Strain mixture into a bowl, being sure to press down on the dragon fruit to extract as much juice as possible.
Notes
- If you don't have fresh dragon fruit, you can make this syrup with dragon fruit powder instead. Simply bring water and syrup to a boil and then let simmer for about 10 minutes. Before removing from heat, stir 2 tsp dragon fruit powder in until dissolved.
- This syrup is great in an at-home version of Starbucks' Mango Dragonfruit Refresher.
