Green Apple Syrup
Makes about 3/4 cup
Time 25 min
There’s more you can do with Granny Smith apples besides bake them in a pie. Here, the peels and core are used to make a piquant syrup that provides the “bite” for our fun beer-based drink, the Texas Snakebite. Use leftover syrup to make more cocktails, sweeten sparkling water or glaze an apple tart.
