The four Flavored Simple Syrups in ramekins

Infused Simple Syrups

  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: Each recipe makes 8oz flavored simple syrup

Ingredients

  • Basil Simple Syrup – 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 packed cup fresh basil leaves
  • Rosemary Simple Syrup – 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed rosemary leaves
  • Orange Simple Syrup – 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, peel of two large oranges (the orange peel only, not the white pith)
  • Coffee Simple Syrup – 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 T fresh ground coffee

(Each recipe makes approximately 8 ounces of flavored simple syrup.)

Instructions

  1. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to simmer.
  2. Add the basil, rosemary, orange peel, or ground coffee to the pot, depending on the flavor, and simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent boiling over.
  3. Remove pot from heat. Allow the ingredients to steep for 30 to 60 minutes. Pour the cooled syrup through a fine strainer to remove herbs, peels, or coffee. (Strain the coffee syrup twice to remove all the grounds. Press the basil leaves against the strainer with the back of the spoon to extract as much syrup as possible.)
  4. Pour syrup into a covered jar or bottle with a lid. Finished syrup can be store covered in the refrigerator for four to six weeks.
