Easy homemade mixed berry simple syrup recipe. Perfect addition to refreshing summer drinks, pancakes and ice-cream!

How to Make Mixed Berry Simple Syrup

I love berry season! I always plan to make the most of it and try a new recipe highlighting berries, from old fashioned jams to pie fillings. This time I wanted to try the mixed berry simple syrup. We add store bought syrup to pretty much everything sweet during summer: refreshing lemonade and drinks, pancakes, waffles, ice cream so why not making homemade mixed berry syrup?!

The recipe is so simple, I can’t believe I haven’t tried to make syrup before! You just wash and prepare your selection of berries (cut strawberries in slices) add them to a large pan with sugar and 25 minutes later the syrup is ready! You can use fresh or frozen berries: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. I have used strawberries and raspberries for this recipe.

How to use the simple mixed berry syrup:

• Add a small quantity of syrup to a glass and fill with sparkling water. Stir well, add some ice cubes and couple of fresh raspberries to it and you have the perfect summer lemonade!
• Add it to non-alcoholic drinks or cocktails.
• Drizzle over ice cream, pancakes, crepes or waffles.
• Mix with yogurt and fresh chopped berries for a quick and healthy breakfast or dessert.

2. Turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool down.
