How to Make Strawberry Lemon Syrup
- Combine 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and the juice of 1 lemon in a non-aluminum medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, or until the syrup has thickened slightly and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries and the zest of 1 lemon. Gently mash some of the strawberries for added texture (optional).
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve (optional) to remove solids for a smoother consistency.
- Serve warm or cold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
