It's just that simple!

The inspiration for all of our recipes comes from one simple recipe- Simple Syrup.

Although we don't use the traditional simple syrup recipe and every new fruit needs its' tweaks - I wouldn't be giving away my secrets! - Simple Syrup is something everyone should know how to make. Why you ask? Because it is an incredibly versatile and useful item to have in your fridge.

It's uses are exponential. In our house we use it for:
               Sweetening iced coffee
               Making frosting or other baked goods
               Making cocktails or drinks on the fly

Simple Syrup Recipe:
1 cup organic sugar
1 cup water

Bring water to a boil. Add sugar and whisk until the sugar is dissolved, then turn off the heat and let cool until you can put it in a jar and then into the fridge!

That's IT. So easy. This is the basic recipe you need to know to begin you own experimenting in the kitchen.

To flavor vanilla- throw in some split open vanilla beans and let steep during the cooling period.

Simple syrup also makes a tasty hummingbird feeder treat. We don't like to use the food coloring full syrups you can buy at the store- so I give my hummingbirds only the best organic simple syrup and they seem to float away a little happier, at least in my mind.

More to come! Perfect a simple syrup and your options are limitless!
