Ingredients
To make strawberry syrup from scratch, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- You can use either fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe. I like to quarter mine so they cook faster!
- Any sugar works well here. I ran out of brown sugar, so I made my homemade brown sugar using molasses and white sugar.
- Feel free to add vanilla paste or extract to your finished syrup for extra flavor!
