Transform apple cores into a delicious spiced syrup for refreshing drinks. Boil cores with sugar, cardamom, and ginger, perfect for cocktails and mocktails.
Ingredients:
  • 6 assorted apple cores (about 8 ounces)
  • 10 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 2 tablespoon roughly chopped crystalized ginger
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions:
  • In a small saucepan, combine apple cores, cardamom pods, crystallized ginger, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat for about 10 minutes, then simmer uncovered until the liquid reduces by half, approximately 20 more minutes.
  • Strain the infusion through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl, pressing the softened apple cores with a wooden spoon to extract more liquid. Clean the saucepan.
  • Pour the apple liquid back into the saucepan with about 1 cup quantity. Add the sugar and heat over medium-high heat. Simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves and the liquid slightly thickens but remains pourable, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Allow the syrup to cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer it to a sealed glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 1 month. Feel free to share your feedback on this recipe!
