*Production of strawberry syrup:
100 ml water
100g sugar
60 g strawberries (cut into pieces)
Heat sugar, water and strawberries in a non-stick pan until the sugar completely dissolves while stirring. Then let it steep over low heat until the strawberries gradually dissolve, stirring occasionally. Then stir the mixture through a kitchen sieve and let it cool.
