Chamomile, known for its calming properties, lends a sweet and slightly floral flavor to this syrup. This chamomile syrup is ideal for topping ice cream made with Ninja Creami or for adding a subtle floral touch to drinks and desserts. Its delicate nature makes it a perfect option for those who appreciate light and refined flavors.
Ingredients :
- 250 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of dried chamomile flowers (or chamomile tea bags)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional, for a touch of acidity)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Add the chamomile.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the dried chamomile flowers or steep the tea bags in the sweetened water. Let it infuse over low heat for about 10 minutes. The chamomile will release its sweet, floral aromas into the syrup. - Add lemon juice (optional)
For a little tangy note that will balance the sweetness of the chamomile, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end of cooking. - Filter the syrup.
Remove the pan from the heat and pass the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the chamomile flowers or remove the tea bags. - Let it cool.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight bottle. It keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.
