Gifts to Make December 6th, 2007Anyone ever make sugar infused gifts? here’s some ideas
This is a very simple and easy to make gift for yourself - or for your favorite friend or relative! This only takes about 30 minutes to make and only 1-2 weeks to infuse before you give it away. Don’t have two weeks to wait? Just put instructions then on the jar that its best used after a certain date!
Herbal Sugar Gift
Ingredients:
3-4 sprigs of fresh herbs
2 cups of sugar
Gift jars of your choice
Fresh herb choices: lavender, mint, rosemary, thyme, sage or vanilla beans or herb of your choice.
Simply bruse the leaves gently by crushing them with a mortar and pestle or crumple them in your hands until you can smell the essence. Then just measure out 2 cups of sugar, add the sugar to the herbs (all the while stirring if you can).
After you have mixed it quite thoroughly, just pour the sugar mix into a decorative jar and allow to sit for at least 2-3 days. After the 2-3 days are up, stir the sugar again and repeat for about 2 weeks.
Wrap a pretty ribbon around the neck of the jar, put your label with instructions or recipes on it and viola! a wonderful, pretty, useful homemade gift!
