Mixology 101: Strawberry Simple Syrup

This strawberry simple syrup tastes like the fresh version of the syrup that accompanies frozen sweetened strawberries. I like to add it to vodka and bourbon drinks, but you can always use it as a regular syrup as well over pancakes, ice cream, or fresh fruit.

Ingredients
1 cup organic strawberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar

Directions Boil the strawberries in the water and sugar for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for another 30 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the strawberries to capture the syrup. Store chilled up to a week.
