Easy Chamomile Simple Syrup Recipe
This homemade chamomile syrup has the sweet, floral aroma you know and love, with enough sweetness to flavor lemonade, sodas, and more. It's the perfect summertime mixer!
Equipment
- fine-mesh strainer small
- small coffee filter optional
Ingredients
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp dried chamomile flowers or 2-3 chamomile tea bags
Instructions
- Combine sugar, water, and dried chamomile flowers in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat once the sugar crystals have dissolved.
- Allow the mixture to cool on the stove until it reaches room temperature.
- If using tea bags, remove them and pour the syrup in an airtight container. If using loose chamomile, set a strainer over a funnel and strain the liquid. It can help to use a small coffee filter to catch any tiny fibers.
- Use as desired to sweeten beverages, brush onto cakes, and more.
Notes
Once the syrup has cooled to room temperature, strain out the flowers and store it in a bottle or container in the fridge for approximately 1-2 weeks.
