- 2 cups white grape juice

Cup of Yum
For strawberry simple syrup:
- To a medium-sized saucepot add diced strawberries, granulated sugar and water. Stir to gently combine.
- Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer and cook until the strawberries are mushy and the syrup has thickened, about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Over a fine mesh strainer, strain the simple syrup, add to an airtight container or jar and keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Sweetness can be adjusted using simple syrup, zero-calorie sweeteners, or natural sweeteners like honey or agave.
- Freeze-dried strawberries may be used instead of fresh for a different texture and flavor.
- Unsweetened coconut milk is called for, but sweetened or vanilla-flavored coconut milk can be used for added sweetness or vanilla notes.
- White grape juice can be substituted with white cranberry juice for a different fruity base.
- Strawberry simple syrup should be stored in the fridge and used within a week for best freshness.
