Recipe: The Herbfarm Herb-Infused Simple Syrup Master Recipe

Herbs and Spices
HERB-INFUSED SIMPLE SYRUP MASTER RECIPE
"Use this syrup to sweeten fruit compotes, fruit soups or sorbets, or to soak genoise or sponge cakes. It also makes a delicious drink when mixed with sparkling water or when used as sweetener for lemonade or iced tea. Poured into attractive bottles, a selection of several flavors make a wonderful gift."



Makes 1 cup

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water

Your choice of herb (see Herbal Infusions for Desserts)
Additional flavoring if desired (see Herbal Infusions for Desserts)

Combine the sugar and water in a small (1-quart) saucepan and place it over medium high heat. As soon as the syrup comes to a full boil and the sugar is completely dissolved, add the herbs and any additional flavoring, push them under the surface with a spoon, and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan and let the herbs steep for 30 minutes.

Pour the syrup through a fine sieve and press down firmly on the herbs with a back of a spoon to extract any syrup that is held in the leaves.

Store in a covered bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
