Making Strawberry Syrup
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the green tops and any blemishes. Slice the strawberries into smaller pieces to help them cook faster and release their flavors.In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, water and sugar over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar in the water. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your desired level of sweetness.

If you prefer a smoother syrup without strawberry chunks, you can use a potato masher or a fork to gently mash the strawberries while they simmer.After about 10-15 minutes of simmering, the strawberries should be soft, and the syrup infused with their flavor.
