Ingredients
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups red currants, stems removed (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Add the sugar, water, and red currants without stems to a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly, just until the sugar dissolves.
- Lower the heat and simmer it for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take it off the heat and cool for 10 minutes.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring cup or a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press on the red currants to get as much juice out as you can.
- Transfer the syrup to an airtight jar and cool to room temperature before closing with a lid.
- Store in the fridge or use in drinks right away.
Notes
Storing: Store the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to two weeks. You can also freeze it for 3-4 months in a freezer-safe container. Avoid an ice cube tray because the syrup never freezes completely solid.
How to use it: In sparkling water, cocktails, mocktails, matcha lattes, drizzled over ice cream, or brushed on cake layers.
The syrup makes approx. 14 servings if you use 2 tablespoons per serving. The nutritional info is only an estimate.
