- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for added brightness)
Instructions:
- Cut the passion fruits in half and scoop the pulp into a bowl. Strain the pulp through a sieve to obtain 1 cup of fresh passion fruit juice.

- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight bottle or jar.
- Store the passion fruit syrup in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Storage Instructions
Once cooled, transfer the syrup into a clean, airtight container or jar, ensuring that the container is dry to avoid any moisture from getting in. Seal the container tightly with a lid to keep out air, and label it with the date for easy tracking. Place the container in the refrigerator, where the syrup will remain fresh and flavorful for up to 4 weeks.
