Chef's Tip
*Use organic produce and products wherever possible. Organic produce and products can be found in the organic aisle of any major grocery store or in health food stores.
*White vinegar or lemon juice can be used in place of the organic apple cider vinegar.
*For another flavour dimension add the zest of an orange or lemon to the syrup when stirring in the extracts.
*Syrup will thicken considerably when placed into the fridge. Gently rewarm syrup by dipping jar into a bowl of hot water until syrup becomes pourable. Alternatively, remove the lid and reheat syrup in the microwave at 10-second intervals.
