Cranberry Simple Syrup for Drinks
A sweet simple syrup made from sugar, water and cranberries. Perfect for cocktails, mocktails and drinks.
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 wooden spoon or potato masher
- 1 Small sieve
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 150 grams cranberries fresh or frozen
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 350 grams water
- 1 sprig rosemary OPTIONAL
Instructions
- In a saucepan, add all the ingredients.
- Bring to a boil on a high heat and turn down to a medium heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cranberries start to soften and burst.
- Take the syrup off the heat and using a wooden spoon or potato masher, smush the cranberries so they release a lot of their juices.
- Carefully pour the syrup through a sieve into a bowl. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, press the cranberries into the sieve to remove as much as the juice as possible while leaving the skins in the sieve.
- Allow to cool fully before transferring to a bottle or jar.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
