Day 10: Kumquat Syrup
Flavored syrups are a useful ingredient in many cocktails. Beyond the simple syrup (sugar dissolved in water), there are any number of less-simple choices. Today I made kumquat syrup by diluting the almost jellylike citrus-in-sugar fluid left over from candying kumquats (material for another Thing-A-Day, except that I did it before this project started), boiling it, and straining it through a filter and adding a bit of vodka as a preservative (to about 8% ABV…a little higher might be a good idea).
