🌼 Ingredients

• Sugar – Finely granulated sugar or caster sugar work best, as the granules are tiny and dissolve quickly. Replace white sugar with honey or maple syrup for a delightful refined sugar-free version.
• Water – The liquid will thicken into a syrup as the water and sugar simmer. To reduce the risk of bacterial growth during storage, use filtered or distilled water.
• Dried jasmine flower buds – Be sure to use culinary-grade dried jasmine flower. You may find them with the tea selection at your local grocer or Asian grocery store. If not, they can easily be ordered online.
• Recommended tools – You’ll need a saucepan, tea infuser, and a sanitized glass jar or bottle for storing.

🥣 How to make (step-by-step photos)

1️⃣ Step One: Dissolve sugar in water

Start by making a basic 1:1 simple syrup. Pour the sugar and water into a medium-size saucepan, and bring the mixture to a low simmer over medium heat. While the liquid heats, add your jasmine flower buds to a tea infuser.

---

2️⃣ Step Two: Infuse with dried jasmine buds

Then, submerge the tea infuser into the simmering pot of water and steep while the sugar continues to dissolve.

---

3️⃣ Step Three: Remove from heat and steep

Once the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a syrup, remove the saucepan from the heat and set it aside to allow the jasmine to steep for an additional 5 to 10 minutes (the flavor will intensify the longer the jasmine is left to steep).

---

4️⃣ Step Four: Let cool and store

Finally, remove the tea infuser, and let the syrup cool to room temperature. Then, pour into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
