Strawberry syrup

Bottle of strawberry syrup

You can buy strawberry syrup in some grocery stores, but it’s usually thick – meant for pancakes rather than drinks – and may have a bunch of other additives you don’t need.

It’s easy to make your own delicious strawberry syrup! You’ll need a couple pounds of strawberries (30 to 40 berries), 2 cups of sugar (400g), and 1 quart of water (or just shy of a liter).

Remove the strawberry caps and quarter the berries. Add the strawberries and water to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let cook for about 20 minutes, skimming and discarding the foam that accumulates on the surface.

Strain out the liquid to remove the berries, and discard them. Return the liquid to the saucepan, add sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and stir frequently for about 5 minutes to dissolve the sugar and thicken the syrup.

Let it cool and store it in a jar or bottle. Refrigerated, it should last for a couple weeks.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
