Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup (loosely packed) fresh tarragon leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.

Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh tarragon leaves to the saucepan.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 20-30 minutes.

Step 6

Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar or bottle to remove the tarragon leaves.
