No-Cook Watermelon Simple Syrup - The BEST watermelon syrup

• servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

16 oz fresh, cubed watermelon

8 oz sugar

½ oz vodka (optional - it keeps the syrup fresh much longer)

Directions

Combine watermelon and sugar in a jar or a zippered plastic bag.

Muddle them together a bit and put the bag or jar in the fridge.

After 12 to 24 hours, stir up the contents until all the sugar is dissolved.

Strain through a metal sieve.

Store the watermelon syrup in a clean glass jar in the fridge.

Optional: add ½ oz vodka to the simple syrup to help it last as long as 4 weeks.
