In a small or medium saucepan, whisk together water, sugar, and coconut flakes over medium-high heat.
Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let sit for 10-15 minutes for the flavor to infuse.
Strain out the coconut flakes, then let the syrup cool or use immediately.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and use in your favorite beverages or recipes as desired.
