STEP 1: Start by weighing the amount of sugar needed and the water to use for your syrup.

Making a homemade syrup becomes a true child’s play with a few simple steps. With a mixture of water and sugar heated, it is possible to create a common base for many flavors. Do not hesitate to experiment with fresh fruits like apple or strawberry, and even herbs such as mint. The resting time after infusion allows all the flavors to be released. By using techniques such as cold infusion, you will achieve a syrup rich in aromas without complication.
With a little patience and simple ingredients, your homemade syrups will enhance your drinks or desserts. Whether for a refreshing cocktail or a sweet decoration, the possibilities are endless.
