Syrups & Infusions

A good homemade syrup is the quickest way to make an alcohol-free drink taste special. This is our collection of botanical syrups and infusions: herb, flower and spice syrups, cordials and shrubs, each made in a small saucepan with everyday UK ingredients and metric measures.

Most of them follow the same simple method. Homemade herbal syrups and infusions, sweetened naturally with honey, agave or maple, to build mocktails from., take the pan off the heat, add your botanical and let it steep, then strain and bottle. Once you’ve made one, you can make them all. Each recipe tells you how long it keeps in the fridge and which drinks it suits best, from sparkling lemonades to warm winter punches.

Start with rosemary syrup, then use your bottle in our botanical mocktail recipes. Every syrup uses herbs and flowers in everyday culinary amounts, with a short safety note where it matters.
