I made Chamomile Syrup!
First, I made 1/2 cup infusion with freshly-harvested chamomile blossoms from my garden and boiling water. It infused for about 20-25 minutes. The scent was amazingly delightful and summery. I strained the infusion. Then, I made 1 cup of rich syrup (1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water). I combined the syrup and infusion in a glass jar and labeled it for later use.
