Instructions

  1. Add 1 cup each of water and honey to a small saucepan, and stir over medium heat until evenly combined.

  2. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, add the herbs to the saucepan, and stir until evenly combined and moistened.  

  3. Now allow the syrup mixture to simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes. Stir periodically.  (The longer it simmers, the thicker the syrup will be.)

  4. Remove the mixture from the heat, strain the herbs through a fine mesh strainer, and press them out using the flat side of a spoon before discarding. (Note: For an extra fine strain, either line the mesh strainer with muslin or use a muslin bag to strain the herbs from your syrup.)

  5. Allow the syrup to cool, bottle it, label it, and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
