Ingredients

1 cup strawberries (250 ml) – homegrown or wild
80 strawberry or lemon balm leaves
850 ml water
1 tablespoon citric acid
1 kg sugar

Preparation procedure

Put the strawberries, water and leaves into a pot, bring to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes
Then strain through a cloth and squeeze thoroughly
Add the sugar and citric acid to the juice from the strawberries and leaves and boil for another approx. 8–10 minutes
Fill through cheesecloth into bottles, ideally liquor bottles, and cork them

From this quantity we have 1.5l of perfect homemade syrup.

I mostly fill it into liquor bottles — do not rinse them.

After a while it may begin to gel a little, but just shake the bottle and it is perfect again.

We use it for lemonades and for sweetening like a classic syrup.
