½ cup sugar
2 TBS water

Instructions

Combine all ingredients into a small pot and heat over medium heat until bubbly.
Stir stir stir, until strawberries are limp. Add additional water if necessary (strawberries will all have different water levels).

You want this thinner than jam, like the consistently of maple syrup (or a little thicker).
Store in a mason jar in your refrigerator until ready to use.
When ready to make a strawberry soda, combine ice, a couple tablespoons (more or less based on preference) and seltzer, club soda or sparkling water. Stir to combine and enjoy!
