Replying to @T Lindsey 🍓Strawberry cheong (no-cook Korean syrup). It’s perfect for mixing into drinks, drizzling over pancakes, or stirring into yogurt and ice cream. It’s a simple and delicious way to preserve fresh strawberries and enjoy their flavor anytime! 🍓 Strawberry Cheong Ingredients: • Fresh strawberries 🍓 • Sugar (equal weight to strawberries) Instructions: 1. Wash the strawberries and let them dry completely—or pat dry with a clean towel. 2. Remove the stems and cut the strawberries into halves or quarters. 3. Weigh the strawberries, then measure the same weight of sugar. (Strawberries : Sugar = 1 : 1. In this video, I’m using about 14 oz of each.) 4. In a clean glass jar, layer the strawberries and sugar. Finish with a thick layer of sugar on top. 5. Close the lid and store in the fridge for 7 days. The strawberries will float—gently stir and press down once a day to help the sugar fully penetrate. After 7 days, strain the syrup and store it in the fridge for 1–2 months. Use your strawberry cheong to sweeten drinks, drizzle over pancakes, or stir into yogurt or ice cream for a sweet, fruity treat. Enjoy! 🍓 #cheong #syrup #strawberry #strawberries #strawberrysyrup #EasyRecipes #strawberrylover #koreandessert #koreanfood #sugar #aapi #aapiheritagemonth
