I had the idea of making a flavored simple syrup for my tea so as to add another dimension to the tea and in preparation for a future business endeavor. We received a huge can of tart cherries and so of course it became my 1st one ... and it was just alright. We've used it in our tea (both hot and cold), but it was not mind blowing so I'll continue to tweak it for a bit. Especially since it tasted like a certain store bought ice tea when I attempted to make sweet tea with it. Not that I'm clowning store-bought sweet tea, but homemade sweet tea is so much better! We also used it in some lemonade and ginger ale ... that was fairly delicious, but I shall revisit this at a later date when I feel like coming back to cherries.
With the Fall season approaching (or is it here?), I think it's time for experimenting with apples. I look forward to making apple cider and maybe even an apple syrup. If I fill ambitious enough I'll give an Apple Jelly recipe a try because it's my favorite flavor of jelly, but not so easy to budget in since there's always grape jelly and I'm the only one that really eats it. Oh yeah, I'm sure I'll do my Candy Apple Chicken again soon too so I look forward to that. Depending on if I can figure something out maybe I'll make a Candy Apple Cider ... mmmm!
Again, there's no telling when I'll actually get time to make these things and blog about them, but I will try.
