Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar 200 g
½ cup water 120 ml
1 cup dried chamomile flowers loosely measured (20 g)

Instructions

Make the Chamomile Syrup:

Dissolve the Sugar: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble.
Infuse the Chamomile: Add the dried chamomile flowers, pressing them gently into the syrup so they are fully submerged. Let the mixture bubble for 1 minute.
Steep and Rest: Turn off the heat and allow the chamomile to steep for 10 minutes. This is where the floral flavor develops.
Strain and Cool: Strain through a fine mesh sieve and let the syrup cool completely before using.

Notes
