Simply D'lish Syrup

Kitchen Ninja has a very awesome friend that owns a spectacular commercial kitchen. Today, KN got to play in it. It was an EPIC afternoon of stainless steel, butcher block counter tops,gadgets, and AC'd bliss.

The project today was to 1) harvest from the farm, and visit the farmer's market 2) infuse simple syrups with whatever I can lay my hands on 3) can the suckers.

These syrups have endless uses (I'm currently sipping on a raspberry/mint/lime infused homemade italian soda), you can use them on snowcones, in cake, in frosting, in tea, coffee, adult beverages, as a glaze for pound cake, on pancakes...the list goes on and one.

I ended up with four flavors:

Raspberry Mojito Syrup (raspberry, mint, lime, lemon)

Lavender Vanilla (infused with vanilla, lavender and mint)

Thai Spice Syrup (containing Thai Basil, Lime, Ginger, and Serrano Peppers)

Mojito Syrup (Mint, Lime)

BEHOLD...

I felt like a mad scientist, blending spices, juicing fruit, boiling steamy liquids...

This is me, Kitchen Ninja, hanging out at the kitchen that will now forever haunt my dreams. *sigh* Thanks Michelle for giving me the key and free reign!
