With herbs in full growth, herbal syrups are easy to make. They will last for 6 months, right into the cold season, when you’ll be able to use them not only for your pleasure but also as herbal remedies.

The choice of herbs is vast and very personal. Go for the aroma you like or for the effects they can have on your body.

The amount of herbs and water is important if you wish to obtain a concentrated syrup. Use 500g of herbs with 3l of water. Bring to the boil, let it simmer until the water reduces to about half the volume. Add 50g of sugar or honey and a spoonful of brandy to help with preservation.
