HERBAL FRUIT SYRUPS: These are great to have on hand for marinades or
dressing for fresh fruit, as a base for spritzers or to combine with teas
to make the most wonderful hot and iced tea drinks. I've listed 3 of my
favorites below juices and herbs can be changed depending on what's
available. Each makes about 1 One half cups.

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, wine, lemon zest and lemon juice
and bring to a boil. Stir in juice and herbs and reduce over moderate heat
to a light syrup consistency. Strain if desired and store refrigerated..
