Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Herbal Flavor Options
- Choose 1 herb per batch of Simple Syrup:
- 5 fresh basil sprigs (5-7 inches long), about 1.5 oz.
- 4 fresh rosemary sprigs (5-7 inches long), about .5 oz.
- 1 handful fresh mint sprigs, about 1.5 oz.
- 6 fresh thyme sprigs (3-4 inches long), about .5 oz.
- 8 bay leaves
Instructions
- Carefully rinse your herbs clean. You will use one type of herb for each batch of simple syrup. Here, I am making three batches - basil, rosemary, and mint.
- Bring water to a boil. Add the sugar and whisk into the boiling water. Continue whisking till sugar is dissolved.
- Add herb of choice to the syrup. Let it boil for 60 seconds.Remove from heat and let the herbs steep for about 30 minutes as the syrup cools. Use a slotted spoon to remove the herbs from the syrup.
- Pour the cooled syrup through a fine mesh strainer or multiple layers of cheesecloth into a glass bottle or jar.
- Close the bottle and put a tag on it so you don't forget which flavor syrup you've made.
- Store herb infused simple syrup in the refrigerator. Add to your favorite drinks for a sophisticated, herbal essence and added sweetness.
Notes
- You will also need: Small saucepan, fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, funnel, 8 ounce glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid
