Steps

1

In a medium saucepan pan bring all ingredients to a boil, mix until liquid is clear.
2

Once it has came to a boil, reduce heat to in between medium & medium low & let simmer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove from the heat and place a lid over the the pot and let it come to room temperature.
3

Once cooled, place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the mixture over that. Press down with a spatula for about 3 minutes to really extract all of the strawberry juices.
4

Transfer your syrup to a container and cover with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours to chill.
After it has chilled, you can use in your favorite drink, over ice cream or a cocktail. Good in the fridge for up to a week.
