Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup stems of lovage, sliced in ½"-1 inch pieces
- Lemon juice (optional)
Make it step by step
- Combine the sugar and water and heat until the sugar is dissolved. Then add the lovage and turn off the heat and allow it to steep until it reaches room temperature. This should make approximately 1 cup of lovage simple syrup.
- Use 2 tablespoons syrup per 8 ounce glass of sparkling water. Add a spritz of lemon juice and enjoy!
- Note: The syrup will keep a long time, but it's best to strain the lovage out if you're going to keep it longer than a week. The longer the lovage is in the syrup, the stronger it will get.
