Sage Cordial Recipe
A great way to use up your fresh sage in your herb garden.
Sage Cordial
Ingredients
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- 2 cups vodka
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
-
Crush the sage using a mortar and pestle until fragrant. Place in a crushed sage leaves in a 1 pint jar with a tight fitting lid (or jar large enough to hold all the ingredients). Clean out the mortar bowl to remove every last bit of sage by adding some of the vodka and swishing, then add this with the sage leaves.
-
Add the rest of the vodka and shake well. Let the jar stand for 8 days, away from light, shaking occasionally.
-
Place the water and sugar in a small saucepan, and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Place in a jar with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for 8 days while the sage is infusing.
-
After the 8 days are up, strain the sage and vodka through a coffee filter into a 750ml bottle (or 1 quart size) with a tight fitting lid. Add in the sugar syrup and seal. Shake to mix.
-
The sage cordial tastes best when kept chilled.
