How to make strawberry brown sugar simple syrup:
Cook the syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves.
Simmer and infuse: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes. The strawberries will break down, and the syrup will take on a rich, pink hue. Let steep for 30 minutes.
Strain: Remove from heat and carefully strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean jar or bottle, discarding the solids.
Cool and store: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
How to use:
Cocktails: Add a splash to your favorite cocktails, such as strawberry margaritas, mojitos, or a spritz.
Mocktails: Mix with sparkling water, lemonade, or iced tea for a refreshing, non-alcoholic treat.
Breakfast treats: Drizzle over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt for a fruity twist.
Desserts: Use as a topping for ice cream, cakes, or cheesecake.
