Some good recipes.
Simple Syrup
Source: From the SomethingEdible test kitchen.
Servings: Makes about 12 fluid oz
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
7
1/2
oz
white sugar
by weight (~1 cup by volume)
8
fluid oz
water
filtered if you got it.
24
leaves
mint
Fresh (Only if you're making mint syrup.)
Instructions: In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to boil over medium heat. If making mint syrup, add the mint now. Continue to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Syrup should clarify by the time you're ready to take it off the heat. Let cool & then bottle. For mint syrup, be sure to filter thru a couple of coffee filters on the way to the bottle. Refrigerate after cool.
Notes: You're gonna have to refrigerate or it's gonna get fuzzy & nasty on ya. The good news is, it keeps pretty much forever if your bottle is clean.
