Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
- ½ cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
Instructions
- Combine lemon juice, water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add strawberries and lemon zest and stir to combine. Lower heat to a simmer.
- Let simmer until sugar is dissolved and syrup begins to thicken, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof container like a bowl or a mason jar. Press down on strawberries with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard strawberries or use them for something else (they make a delicious ice cream topping!)
- Place bowl or jar in fridge to cool completely before using. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
