This herbaceous sage simple syrup recipe can be used in place of any simple syrup in your favorite cocktails, lemonades, and teas. Or even use it as a sweetener in baking recipes. Sage simple syrup is easy to make and can be kept in the fridge for weeks. So make a double batch!
In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and salt. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Remove the pan from the heat and add the fresh sage leaves (remove the leaves from the stems and discard steams). Allow the mixture to steep for 30 minutes. Check for tastes. If you want a stronger syrup let it step for 30 more minutes.
Strain the leaves from the syrup and discard. Transfer the sage simple syrup to a sterilized glass jar or bottle for storage.
Notes
Sage-infused simple syrup will last for up to one month when stored properly in the fridge. It has crystalized or become cloudy throw it out.
