To a small saucepan add the sugar, water, and strawberries or strawberry tops (without greens attached). Heat over high, stirring occasionally, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the syrup is deep red and slightly thickened, remove it from the heat and cover with lid. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once the Strawberry Simple Syrup is at room temperature, strain away the strawberry pulp and pour into an airtight glass jar or syrup container. Refrigerate between uses.
