Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup (loosely packed) fresh tarragon leaves
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh tarragon leaves to the saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the tarragon's flavor to infuse into the syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20-30 minutes.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle to remove the tarragon leaves.
Seal the container and store the tarragon syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the syrup as desired in beverages, desserts, or other dishes.
