NOTES

  • Strawberries are sliced or chopped to make it easier to cook down and mash. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to mash the strawberries.
  • This recipe makes a cup of strawberry syrup, which is 16 tablespoons. Add 1-2 tablespoons of syrup to flavor and sweeten a cup of iced tea.
  • Store strawberry syrup in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
  • Aside from adding strawberry syrup to iced tea, try it a tea latte to give it a boost of berry flavor. Pour some into a glass of sparkling water for an instant strawberry soda.
