Recipe Notes:
- Do not include strawberry stems, as they can add a bitter flavor.
- Frozen strawberries (thawed) can be used, though flavor may be slightly less vibrant.
- Keep an eye on the syrup while simmering to avoid over-reduction or burning.
- Do not press the fruit while straining, or the syrup may become cloudy.
- Simple syrup will be thin and pourable, not thick like pancake syrup.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months in a sealed container.
- For longer storage, freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
