🫙 how to store infused syrups
Homemade syrups don’t last as long as store-bought syrups because they don’t have preservatives. On average, they last for about 2 weeks, or 14 days when stored in the fridge. Don’t leave your syrups out at room temperature for more than 2-3 hours at a time or they can become susceptible to bacteria growth.
