How to make Strawberry Syrup
-
Prepare the strawberries
Wash the strawberries thoroughly to remove dirt, and remove all the stems.
-
Cook strawberry water
Place a pot of water on the stove, add strawberries, ensuring the water just covers the strawberries. Cover the pot and cook over high heat until the water boils. Open the pot lid and reduce the heat to low, continue cooking for about 5 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Use a sieve to filter out the strawberry water, letting it sit for about 5 minutes to allow some sediment to settle. Place the strawberries on a separate plate.
Then, use a piece of paper towel to line the sieve placed over the pot, and slowly pour the strawberry water into it to filter out any remaining sediment.
Tip: While cooking to keep the strawberry water clear, do not use a ladle or chopsticks to stir the strawberries, as they will easily break apart at this stage.

Make syrup
Add sugar to the pot of strawberry water, stir gently, then evenly sprinkle 2 packets of sour sugar into the pot. Cook over low heat to help the sugar dissolve faster. When the syrup starts to boil again, you can turn off the heat.
You can keep a little strawberry syrup in the pot, bring it to a boil, then add all the strawberries and continue cooking until it boils again, then turn off the heat. This part can be added to a glass of syrup for enjoyment.
Tip: When cooking, be sure to remove any foam to ensure the syrup water is as clear and beautiful as possible after completion!

How to choose fresh and delicious strawberries
- You should choose strawberries that are fresh, ripe, juicy, and evenly colored, avoiding those that are slightly pale or still white.
- Be sure to select berries that are intact, not bruised or cracked, and still have green stems and caps.
- Avoid choosing overripe strawberries with dry, wilted stems and dark brown colors as the inside may be dry and hollow.
- It is recommended to buy from reputable addresses regarding food safety to ensure the freshness of strawberries, avoiding those of unclear origin.
How to store strawberry syrup
- You can store strawberry syrup in the refrigerator for 5 – 7 days. When you want to use it, take a clean spoon to scoop out a little and then tightly close the glass jar and put it back in the refrigerator right away!
- Additionally, you should limit using plastic bottles to store syrup in the refrigerator. Because the sugar in the syrup can crystallize and make it difficult to scoop and use.
