Botanical Infused Cubes

Making syrups at home has never been easier.

​

1 C water

2 C cane sugar

1 handful fresh mint leaves

1 whole vanilla bean {or 1 tsp vanilla bean paste}

​

On low-medium heat, place a saucepan on the stovetop. Add water and sugar. While stirring frequently let the mixture heat until the sugar is fully dissolved. Slice the whole vanilla bean down the center to expose the essential oils while cooking. Then add the vanilla bean and mint leaves to your syrup, simmer on low for about 15 minutes with a lid on your pot. Turn the stovetop off. Remove mint leaves with a slotted spoon, allow your simple syrup to cool with the vanilla bean left in. Once cooled, blend the simple syrup to infuse the vanilla bean completely. Pour into a glass bottle. This syrup will stay fresh in your refrigerator for 2 weeks. Enjoy!

Teas so tasty you'll wonder how you ever lived without! Plus the littles will love to craft these teas with your as well. 

Knowing how your botanical products are made is so important. SO make it yourself!

Growing herbs yourself gives your botanical drinks one up on every other drink around! Whether it's cocktails, mocktails, herbal teas, infusions, etc. If you grew those herbs yourself, how amazing will the results be!

​

You have the assurance of knowing your hands are the only ones that touched these luscious herbs and the guarantee of their quality. So what are you waiting for, get to growing those herbs!

Always start with fresh ingredients and you'll have delicious infusions as a result!

While I completely recommend growing your own ingredients first and foremost, sometimes that is not readily available. In this case, I recommend local or organic ingredients.
