refreshingly different...


















jasmine syrup,

prefect in tea, drizzled on fruit, swirled in yogurt or what i most look forward tom making sorbet on a hit summers day~

cups sugar
2 cups filtered water
1 cup fresh jasmine flowers
 Gently rinse jasmine flowers.


Bring water to a boil, then add sugar. Mix until all the sugar has dissolved. Turn heat off and add jasmine flowers. Cover and allow to steep for 2 to 3 hours. Place a sieve over a bowl and drain liquid. Discard flowers and place the syrup in an airtight bottle. Store in the fridge.
This fragrant syrup can be added to hot tea, iced tea, or in any other recipe that asks for syrup!

  2. I'm only familiar with Carolina jasmine...the scent of Charleston...and do not have a single vine. I'm putting it on my "to-order" list, for sure. Jasmine sorbet sounds delicate, sensual, and intoxicating. Speaking of which...a jasmine martini, jasmine daiquiris. Or jasmine ironing water. Love your bee spoon and the tumbled blackberries.

  4. Bee-utiful...I love all your flower foods and syrups. I was noticing MLW's comment...Carolina Jasmine is toxic, not like Confederate Jasmine.
