Homemade Fruit Syrups and Syrups (for cocktails)
Syrups or Fruit Syrups are liquid preparations based on sugar and fruit, they are used not only to sweeten the cocktail, but to add color and flavor to the mixture. We can make them of all the types of fruits that we want. Here you will find the basic recipe to make all step by step.I am going to use two examples, the Strawberry Syrup and the Kiwi Syrup. If in any step you have doubts, at the end of the post you have our video to clarify any questions.
Do not confuse these Fruit Syrups with the juices or juices that we buy or squeeze, they have nothing to do.
First step
We have to have the Sugar Syrup prepared, it is very easy to do and 'here' you have the entrance to do it.
Second step
To the strawberries we cut the leaves and wash them (chop if we want). With the kiwis we peel and chop them, we remove the nerve from the center.
Third step
Take out the juice, in the video you have done it with mortar, but for this step and depending on the amount we have to do, we can use a hand mixer or blender, doing exactly the same as if we were to crush it with mortar.
We add the strawberry in a glass or container, we do the same with the kiwi. We add a stroke of warm water, to facilitate the extraction. Crush, liquefy or beat.
Fourth step
We have to strain it to clean the pulp or seeds, in another container we pass it through a classic kitchen strainer.
Fifth step
Add the Sugar Syrup, we have to add the same amount of Sugar Syrup that we have of strawberry juice or kiwis, with a spoon we mix a little. We will have a thick syrup.
Sixth step (optional)
For a better presentation you can put it in little bottles. You also have quite a few brand names that have a wide range of syrup or ready-made syrup flavors.
Notes: it is best to use them as soon as possible, in the refrigerator they can last us about a week. Before using them, it is convenient to move them a little in the bottle.
