Servings 1 cup

Ingredients
  

  • 3 bananas
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup water (optional, makes syrup easier to pour)

Instructions
 

  • Slice the bananas into thick segments and add them to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Pour the sugar over the banana slices and gently toss them to ensure they're evenly coated. Cover the mixture and let it sit for at least one hour, or up to three.
  • Now, pour the water (if using) into the mixture and gingerly swirl the liquid around the bowl to help dissolve any remaining sugar crystals.
  • Carefully strain the liquid using a fine mesh strainer. For the best results, be sure not to press on any solids.
  • Store the syrup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
