Notes

How long will it last

Once cooled, store your syrup in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 3-4 weeks. If you notice leftover syrup crystallising or separating, simply rewarm gently over medium heat until smooth.
You can also freezing portions of it in an ice cube tray to make it easier to grab only what you need!
