How to Make Rosemary Balsamic Syrup Dairy Free

  1. Combine 1 cup balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar (or maple syrup for a richer flavor), 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, and 10 black peppercorns in a medium non-reactive saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the syrup has reduced by half (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the rosemary and peppercorns.
  4. Funnel the warm syrup into sterilized small jars, leaving a small amount of headspace. Seal tightly and allow to cool completely.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
