Simple Syrup Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool in the refrigerator for 8-12 hours (or overnight)
  3. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve, cheesecloth or coffee filter to remove solids.
  4. Transfer to an airtight container and set aside in the refrigerator.

Ingredients to make the fir and aronia cocktail

Homemade simple syrup will generally keep for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, as long as it is stored in an airtight container.

If you used fresh ingredients (fir shoots and aronia berries), it is best to consume it within 2 to 3 weeks to fully benefit from its optimal flavor. Be sure to check the appearance and smell of the syrup before using it. If it shows signs of mold or an unpleasant odor, it is best to throw it away.
