Tarragon Honeydew Syrup
Tarragon Honeydew Syrup is a fragrant melon syrup infused with fresh tarragon. Use it in the Morning Dew cocktail, or add it to sparkling water, iced tea, mocktails and other summer drinks.
Ingredients
- 1 honeydew melon
- Sugar
- 4–6 sprigs tarragon
Instructions
- Remove skin from honeydew and cut melon into chunks. Blend until a smooth purée forms.
- Strain purée through a fine-mesh strainer until all pulp is removed. Measure honeydew juice, then weigh an equal amount of sugar.
- Combine juice and sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Warm mixture over low heat, being careful not to boil.
- Add tarragon sprigs and cook for 30 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally, until syrup is lightly infused with tarragon flavor and aroma. The syrup will take on a light golden-brown color as it infuses.
- Remove sprigs and refrigerate syrup until ready to use.
