Heat gently, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved; do not boil. Add flavoring ingredients and allow to steep while warm or over low heat, depending on the ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For herbs, spices, or teas: steep off heat for 10\u201320 minutes. For fruits or vegetables: simmer lightly to extract flavor, then strain. For zests or aromatics: briefly heat or steep to avoid bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strain out solids and let cool completely.

Cut into small, even pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blend the ingredient until smooth, adding a small amount of liquid (such as water, juice, or simple syrup) to achieve the desired consistency. For firmer ingredients, lightly cook or macerate beforehand to soften and enhance flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strain through a fine mesh sieve if a smoother texture is desired. Adjust sweetness or acidity to taste. Cool completely and store refrigerated in a sealed container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Top: Class of \u201926 libations (from left) Sunday Best, Nicaraguan Goodbye, Hibiscus Spritz, and La Aventurina, seen in the Regent Lounge.
