- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to steep for an additional 10 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh strainer, gently pressing the fruit to release the juices.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before using.
- Transfer to an airtight container or jar and store in the fridge.
