Flower-Infused Simple Syrup
Flower-Infused Simple Syrup
Pick two C. of honeysuckle blossoms (or other aromatic edible plant). Gently rinse under cold water to remove dust and debris. Set aside. In a medium heavy-bottomed pan, add 1 C. of cold filtered water and 1 C. of granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer over low heat, not letting it boil, and stirring often until sugar is fully dissolved. Turn off heat and let cool slightly. Add blossoms to syrup and gently submerge. Let cool completely, then place a fine-mesh strainer over a pint jar and pour syrup and blossoms into it. Discard blossoms. Cover and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
