Nutritional Benefits:
Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, an antioxidant essential for immune function and collagen production. They also contain potassium, which supports heart health. While this syrup contains added sugar, it’s a healthier alternative to store-bought syrups, as it’s made with fresh fruit.
Tip: For a richer flavor, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract.
