  2. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, then skim off any foam from the top of the syrup.
    A fine mesh strainer with crushed strawberries sits over a glass bowl, collecting juice while pulp remains in the strainer.
  3. Either use the syrup right away or store it in a clean, glass jar in your fridge for up to a month.
