Syrups One Can Make!!

All four recipes yield about 1˝ cups. They can easily be doubled
or halved as long as you keep the 1:1 (or for grenadine 2:1)
ratio.
Plain Simple SyrupINGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
METHOD:
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan or pot and bring to
a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally, until the sugar is
fully dissolved. (Be careful not to leave the syrup unattended
or the sugar may burn or it may become too thick.) Remove from
the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a
glass jar or bottle (I find a funnel useful in these instances)
and store in the refrigerator.
Ginger Simple SyrupINGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup demera sugar
7 ounces fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
METHOD:
Make simple syrup as advised above. Add the ginger to the pot,
stir, and remove from the heat. Allow to steep for about 15
minutes. Strain the ginger out and allow the syrup to cool to
room temperature. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle and store in
the refrigerator.
Mint Simple SyrupINGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1˝ cups roughly torn mint
METHOD:
Make simple syrup as advised above. Add the mint to the pot,
stir, and remove from the heat. Allow to steep for about 15
minutes. Strain the mint out and allow the syrup to cool to room
temperature. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle and store in the
refrigerator.
Sage Simple SyrupINGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
˝ cup roughly torn sage leaves
METHOD:
Make simple syrup as advised above. Add the sage to the pot,
stir, and remove from the heat. Allow to steep for about 15
minutes. Strain the sage out and allow the syrup to cool to room
temperature. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle and store in the
refrigerator.
GrenadineAdapted from Cocktail Chronicles
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups pomegranate juice
1 cup sugar
1 ounce vodka (optional)
METHOD:
Bring the pomegranate juice to a simmer until reduced by half.
Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. (At this point if you
continue to simmer until it is reduced even further you will
have pomegranate molasses.) Remove from the heat and allow to
cool to room temperature. Transfer to a glass jar or bottle. Top
with a little vodka if you’d like (this acts as a preservative
to extend the fridge life). Store in the refrigerator.
