Instructions

- For the Homemade Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar and water. Bring to a low boil, stirring occasionally. Boil for about 3 minutes until syrupy. Set aside to cool.

Notes
- I pureed my fruits in my Vitamix. This blender blends so well that I didn’t have much leftover seeds or skin left behind in the strainer. If this is you, that’s ok, you didn’t do anything wrong.
