Sugar Tangerine Syrup
A crowd-pleasing sweet and tangy syrup with creamy vanilla notes.
500g thinly sliced sugar tangerines (the smaller the better)
200g sugar
250mL water
1 tsp vanilla
Add sugar and water to a saucepan and bring to a boil, then stir in vanilla.
Add oranges and simmer 15-20 mins, until peels being to look transparent but flesh is not mushy.
Remove oranges and add them to a clean glass jar.
Simmer remaining syrup for another 15 minutes, until it is reduced by about half.
Pour syrup over slices in the jar, and top with:
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp citric acid
Stir gently and allow to dissolve into the syrup.
Store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge. We have kept this for up to a month, but shelf life may vary.
Makes enough for about 30 cocktails.
This versatile syrup can be used to add a ray of sunshiny citrus flavour to soooo many cocktails!
