Equipment

  • Sauce Pan + Spatula
  • Strainer + Funnel
  • Mason Jar

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup Fine Sugar
  • 1 cup Water
  • ¾ cup Frozen Pink Dragon Fruit

Instructions
 

  • In the sauce pan add water, sugar, and dragon fruit on low to medium heat (do not boil).
  • Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Removed from heat, let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • In a mason jar place the strainer on top of the funnel and pour the syrup mix. Some black seeds might seep through. If you don't want any of the seeds, strain a few times.
  • Seal mason jar tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Substitutions:

Folks who follow a KETO diet could use Erythritol to make simple syrup. I found that using Stevia or Monk fruit tends to crystalize. Erythritol is sugar alcohol and does not crystalize making this an ideal substitute when making simple syrup.

Variations:

Making simple syrup at home gives you the opportunity to create endless flavorings.
  • Spicy - add jalapeño for that spicy kick syrup.
  • Cinnamon - in a mason jar add a couple of cinnamon sticks to a regular simple syrup
  • Pumpkin Spice - add pumpkin spice to a 1:1 sugar water ratio and strain. My favorite to use in Lattes, Coffee Creamer, tea and pancakes.
