Tarragon Syrup
Summer 2019
Blending tarragon with Simple Syrup instead of steeping yields a more intense flavour and vibrant green colour. You could also use this syrup to sweeten lemonade or iced herbal tea.
Makes 2/3 cup (150 mL)
½ cup (125 mL) sugar
½ cup (125 mL) water
1 cup (250 mL) tarragon leaves
1 In a small saucepan, whisk sugar and water over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.
2 Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add tarragon leaves. Swirl 5 seconds and transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water. Cool, drain and dry thoroughly on paper towel.
3 Place Simple Syrup and tarragon in a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds. Pass through a fine strainer, pressing on solids with a spoon to extract syrup. Discard solids. Transfer syrup to a glass jar with lid. Refrigerate up to 1 week. Stir before using.
