Equipment
- 1 1.5-quart saucepan
- 1 fine mesh sieve
- 1 heat-resistant spatula such as silicone
- 1 heat-resistent measuring glass
Ingredients
- 10 whole sage leaves fresh
- 240 grams water
- 200 grams granulated sugar
Instructions
- Wash and gently dry fresh sage leaves to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Pour 240 g of water (1 cup) into a small saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat.
- Add 200 g of granulated sugar (1 cup) to the pan, and stir it until it dissolves, about 5 minutes.
- Once the sugar is dissolved, raise the heat to medium until the pot is lightly simmering.
- Add the 10 - 12 sage leaves, turn the heat off and allow the pan to sit for 1 full minute.
- Allow the leaves to infuse for at least 15 minutes, but up to 30 minutes off of the burner. Be sure to taste your simple syrup as it is infusing to determine if the flavor is strong enough for your liking.
- Once the sage has infused and the syrup has cooled to room temperature, strain the syrup in a fine mesh sieve to remove the leaves.
- Store your finished syrup in an airtight storage container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
