  1. Little tip for anyone that makes simple syrup, or is going to make it...

    Always boil the water, before adding the sugar as it takes longer to boil the water and sugar mix from cold.

  3. CW: Attempting to make a masala chai simple syrup

    First attempt at making a Masala #Chai simple syrup has been decent.
    I do think it needs quite a bit more ginger (perhaps I should grate some instead of slicing it), and get some better cinnamon sticks. Should also look into if there is much of a difference between using cardamom pods, or just the dried seeds from them (which I used).
    Definitely need to up the spice to water ratio too, or let it infuse for longer.
    Using muscovado along with regular sugar gives an interesting extra depth, but may also have made it too sweet. (Though amping up the spices in general might help with that too, as I would need to add less of the #SimpleSyrup to my freshly brewed #tea.)

  8. I made simple syrups for holiday gifts.
    Lavender blueberry w/ hint of vanilla
    Chai spice (cardamom, clove, fresh ginger, cinnamon, peppercorns, star anise, nutmeg, vanilla)
    Lemongrass, kafir lime, ginger, lime juice

  9. It's the cheapest #vodka I could find a year or so ago. The plastic bottle is a quality indicator. Just using it to make sugar syrup. Unfortunately I found out if you make #simpleSyrup without it, it grows mould pretty quick, even in the fridge.

    Doing about 1:1 sugar-boiling water seems to work okay. Not sure what the mixology wisdom is on the preferred ratio.
