Homemade Strawberry Juice is made with only 3 ingredients, including fresh strawberries! This is the most delicious and flavorful fruit juice you will ever have!
Servings: 2 to 3 Cups Strawberry Syrup
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries , cleaned and halved
- 2 cups sugar

Instructions
- Place half of the strawberries in a large bowl; cover with 1-cup of sugar.
- Add the remaining strawberries and sprinkle with the rest of the sugar.
- Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 24 hours.
- Transfer the berries and the juice into a large saucepan.
- Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil; turn the heat down and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl.
- Using a spatula, press the strawberries to release all the juices.
- In the meantime, preheat oven to 170F.
- Wash the glass bottle; place it on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Sterilize the cap of the bottle by placing it in a bowl and pour boiling water right over it.
- Remove glass bottle from the oven.
- Pour the juice into the bottle.
- Seal with the cap and let completely cool.
- Store in refrigerator.
- When ready to serve, measure 1/4 cup of the strawberry syrup and pour it into a drinking glass.
- Stir in 1 cup of water (I like to use soda water) and enjoy!
- If you like a sweeter juice, add more syrup.
