Layer the Spruce tips and sugar in the quart jar. Pack down the ingredients with each layer.

Keep this jar in a cool dark place for at least 14 days but be sure to remove the lid and mix the contents every few days.

After 14 -30 days, strain the solids from the liquid syrup into a clean storage container.

Use right away to flavor drinks and on some pancakes or store in the fridge or freezer for later use.

If stored in the fridge, this Spruce tip syrup can store for a long time. If it’s been quite some time since you’ve checked on it, express caution before use.
