Cilantro Syrup Recipe
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 bunch fresh cilantro, thoroughly washed and chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
Begin by combining water and sugar in a small saucepan. Place it over medium-high heat.
Stir the mixture occasionally, allowing the sugar to completely dissolve as it comes to a boil.
Once the sugar is dissolved, turn the heat down to low. Introduce the chopped cilantro to the liquid.
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 5 minutes, with occasional stirring to ensure even flavor infusion.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, letting the syrup cool down to room temperature. This is where the cilantro imparts its distinct, herbaceous essence to the syrup.
To finish, strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a sterile container. This step removes all solid bits, leaving behind a clear, flavorful syrup.
Store your cilantro syrup in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 2 weeks, ready to add a creative twist to your culinary creations.
#Note from Baza
The intensity of the cilantro flavor can be adjusted to suit your taste by altering the amount of cilantro used. This allows for personalization and experimentation in your recipes.
