Chamomile-Honey Syrup
Ingredients:
1 oz Dried Chamomile flowers
1 cup Honey
Water
Instructions:
- Add 1 oz dried chamomile flowers and 16 fl oz of water to a small sauce pot.
- Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover the pot with a lid and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain the chamomile from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or sieve. You should have 12 fl oz of infusion.
- Add 1/2 cup of honey to every cup of infusion. If you yielded 12 fl oz of infusion, add 3/4 cups honey. If you only got 8 fl oz of infusion, just add 1/2 cup of honey (This doesn’t have to be exact, it’s more a matter of preference; you can add equal parts honey and infusion if you like it sweeter. The more honey you add, the longer the syrup will keep.
- Store the syrup in an airtight container and keep refrigerated. It will keep for 2-4 weeks.
