Fig Leaf Syrup

With a flavor that's reminiscent of fresh figs, vanilla, and a touch of coconut, this is a very special syrup to have on hand.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 4-5 fresh fig leaves

Instructions
 

  • Place sugar and water in a small sauce pot. Stir to combine, turn on heat to medium, and cook until mixture comes to a low boil.
  • Allow to simmer until sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Add fig leaves to syrup. Allow them to infuse in the syrup until it cools completely, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Strain into a clean jar.
  • Keep syrup refrigerated and use for cocktails, mocktails, and desserts.
