Ingredients
1 cup water ($0.00)
1 cup granulated sugar ($0.34)
Orange
Lemon
Lime
Rosemary
Thyme
Lavender
Mint
Sage
Chamomile
Instructions
1Combine the water and sugar in a pot.
2Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Be careful not to boil to avoid making candy by accident!
3Remove from heat, add herbs or citrus rinds, and let it cool on the countertop.
4Once cooled, refrigerate for up to four weeks. It’s best to remove the herbs or tea once cooled so your flavors stay nice and bright! (Make sure you label your simple syrup if you’re playing with fun flavors. They all tend to look alike.)
