Ingredients

  • 3-4 fresh fig leafs
  • 2 cups water
  • cup sugar

Instructions

  • Place the water, sugar, and fig leaves in a medium saucepan over med-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and boil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool and steep for about an hour. Remove the leaves and place the syrup in a sealable bottle or container. Store in the fridge, the syrup will last for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • You can freeze fig leaves. They need to be blanched first so that they retain their shape and flavor. Layer them with wax paper or parchment paper in between each leaf and lay them flat in the freezer in a freezer-safe sealable bag or container. They will stay good in the freezer for up to 6 months.
