✨ Dee’s Summer Syrup Series ☀️
Here’s how I made my Strawberry Cheong 🍓✨
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
1. Sugar
2. Fresh Strawberries
3. Air-tight Container
Wash & dry your strawberries. I chopped up my strawberries on the smaller side to speed up my syrup. Start with a layer of strawberries at the bottom of your container. Then top with sugar. Follow these steps until the jar is full. Finish with a layer of sugar and seal. Place in your fridge and stir daily to mix sugar & keep your fruit from spoiling. Your syrup should be done in about a week depending on cut size of your fruit.
This was my recipe and how I prepared my Strawberry Cheong. I’ll be posting my daily updates and instructions on how I strained my fruit and stored my syrup. I’ll also share what recipes I’ve used my syrup in so far.

As summer approaches, a refreshing syrup like Strawberry Cheong is a delightful addition to your kitchen. Not only is it easy to make, but it also opens up a world of culinary creativity. Strawberry Cheong can serve various purposes, from sweetening your favorite beverages to enhancing delicious dessert recipes. To ensure you get the best results, it's essential to select ripe, fresh strawberries, as their natural sweetness is crucial for the syrup's quality. In addition to sugar, you might consider experimenting with alternative sweeteners like honey or agave syrup if you seek a healthier option. This can provide a unique twist to your syrup while maintaining that fruity flavor. Once your syrup is ready, the possibilities are endless! Use it to drizzle over pancakes, ice creams, or yogurt for an added flavor boost. You can also incorporate it into cocktails, smoothies, or lemonades to create refreshing summer drinks. If you're feeling adventurous, try blending it with other fruits like peaches or blueberries to create a mixed fruit syrup. Moreover, the process of storing your syrup is just as important as its creation. Ensure your air-tight container is sterilized to prevent any spoilage, and always keep the syrup refrigerated. For those who love personal touches, you can easily infuse your syrup with fresh herbs like mint or basil for added depth. Feel free to share your syrup-making adventures and back-to-school creative ideas! Let me know what fruits you want me to try next. With a little creativity, your Strawberry Cheong can be the star of your summer treats.
