Instructions: 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. Ive listed 3 of my favorites below - juices and herbs can be changed depending on whats available.

Makes about 1 1/2 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.
