Combine the strawberries, water, and sugar in a saucepan set over medium high heat.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, until the liquid is deeply red and the strawberries are soft.
Strain the strawberries out from the simple syrup, making sure not to press down on the strawberries. Otherwise your syrup will be cloudy.
Chill the strawberry simple syrup in the fridge for an hour or two until cold, then enjoy!
