Sage Simple Syrup

Share this...

Last Updated on January 26, 2024 by Leah Hall

We love herbal simple syrup, and sage is perfect for a cocktail any time of year.

 

As in the previous post about the Rosemary simple syrup, we covered the great uses for simple syrup. We enjoy using fresh herbs from our garden and the farmer’s market during the summer, and all the variety gives us lots of flavors of syrup that we use in all kinds of drinks and dishes. One of our favorites we grow in our own garden, sage, a perennial evergreen shrub that has stayed fresh even thru the trials of a rather snowy winter.

Sage Simple Syrup

Sage is a very savory flavor, slightly peppery with a hint of cool evergreen that is released when its fuzzy leaves are crushed. This herb works really well with lots of tart flavors like berries, and when infused into a simple syrup, adds a fresh savory herbal quality.

Can Simple Syrups go bad?

They can get moldy if they sit too long. We encourage you to store it in the fridge in a jar, but for no more than one to two weeks. We actually have a whole shelf of simple syrups in our fridge at any given time!

 

Cheers!
