Scale
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3-4 springs fresh sage (10-12 large leaves)
Instructions
- Add cane sugar, water, and fresh sage to a medium pot.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Simmer the syrup for 5 minutes.
- Take it off the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before removing the sage. Steep it for longer if you want the syrup extra strong.
- Transfer the syrup to an airtight jar and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Wait for the syrup to cool before closing the jar with a lid.
Notes
Storing: Store the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for 2 weeks or you can freeze it in a freezer-safe container for 2-3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight.
Fresh herbs don’t need as much cooking time to release their flavors as fruits do. Don’t let the sage sit in the syrup for too long or it’s going to be too strong. Taste the syrup and take it our after the 5 minutes if it’s to your liking. I find 5 minutes of cooking and resting is plenty.
