DESCRIPTION

This homemade rosemary simple syrup is super easy to make with just 2 basic ingredients. Sugar water infused with fresh rosemary sprigs makes this a lot less expensive than store bought syrups full of other unnatural ingredients. You can use it to elevate your mocktails, cocktails, desserts, and more!

INGREDIENTS

▢ 6 sprigs fresh rosemary large size
▢ 1 ½ cup sugar
▢ 1 cup water

METHOD

In a small saucepan, combine the rosemary sprigs, water, and sugar. Heat the mixture on low-medium heat and continuously stir till the sugar dissolves.
Note: Avoid boiling the mixture.
Once the sugar dissolves, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer on low for 10-15 minutes till the syrup starts to thicken.
Next, remove from heat, and let the syrup steep for about 15 minutes while it cools down.
Pour syrup into a mason jar through a mesh strainer to remove the springs. Store in the refrigerator and use as needed.

NOTES

Use the Right Cookware: Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to distribute the heat evenly and prevent burning the sugar.

Steep Timing: Experiment with the steeping time to find your preferred strength (steep for longer than 15 minutes for a more intense flavor and less for a milder taste).

Proper Storage: Store the syrup in a glass container to avoid any flavor absorption from plastic (remember to label your container with the date to keep track of its freshness!).
