* How to Make Basic Herb Simple Syrups:
Heat 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and ½ cup fresh herbs in a saucepan. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, then turn off heat. Let the mixture steep until it cools to room temperature, then strain into a clean bottle or jar. Refrigerate the syrup for up to 2 weeks. Pro tip: add 1 oz of vodka to the simple syrup to act as a preservative.
