A couple of months ago, I made some basil-lemon simple syrup and used it to make homemade soda. The posts (and instructions)
HERE. I have been meaning to make some more- trying for ginger and some sort of fruit flavor, but the chunk of ginger sat in my fridge for too long and started to go soggy, so I used the remaining bits for something else. Tonight, spur-of-the-moment, I made some new syrup, using farmer's market figs and frozen cherries. Turned out pretty great- though the fruity aspect to it is not as strong as I would have liked. I wish I had had enough mint to toss some in, as well. But whatever. It's yummy and I am drinking it!
4 cups water, 3 cups sugar, frozen cherries and fresh figs.
After bringing to a boil and dissolving the sugar, take off the heat and let sit, covered for an hour. Then strain.
Poured into my ghetto plastic container (I got to use a funnel! It's always a fun day when you get to use a funnel!) and mixed with some club soda.
