Directions for Sorrel Infused Simple Syrup
- Into a small stockpot over medium-high heat, add 1 cup of alkaline water and 1 cup of raw sugar.
- Add several washed sorrel leaves torn into pieces, a couple of wedges of fresh-cut pineapple, whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and orange zest.
- Bring the mixture to a roiling boil for two minutes, reduce to a simmer for 10-15 minutes. Then remove the pot from direct heat.
- Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and allow the mixture to steep overnight for the best results.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a Mason jar, screw on the lid, and cool in the fridge until the Sorrel Infused Simple Syrup is thoroughly chilled. Use as needed.
- Store in the fridge for up to 30-days.
