When I planted the fig trees 5 years ago they were <em>much<\/em> smaller, and I didn\u2019t have the foresight to realize that they would eventually block the path to the greenhouse when leafed out. I mean honestly, the nerve! But, I\u2019m **trying** not to dwell on the negative as much lately, so let\u2019s move onto the positive! And it\u2019s actually REALLY positive because there is not one, but TWO (!!) reasons why this is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>I give you <u>Exhibit A:<\/u> The leaves will provide the energy to grow and sweeten the figs themselves later on in the summer (huzzah!) And <u>Exhibit B:<\/u> It\u2019s <em>also<\/em> because the leaves themselves hold a secret knowledge that I\u2019m sharing with you here today. And that secret fact? Well, you probably guessed from the blog post title (not to knock the wind out of your sails), but the leaves themselves are edible and <em>actually<\/em> quite delicious! Now, that doesn\u2019t mean you should grab a fig leaf and take a big ol\u2019 bite out of it willy nilly like you would with salad greens. Nope, much like coffee beans, fig leaves require a <em>bit<\/em> of effort for your reward. Namely, they need to be lightly \u201ctoasted\u201d in the oven, and then boiled in a liquid like syrup or milk to extract their flavor, much like you would with tea leaves. The result of this quick bit of cookery is a delicious flavoring reminiscent of toasted almond, coconut, and vanilla all mixed together (yuyumyumyumyum), and that is the little-known magic of fig leaf syrup.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27806\" src=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup.jpg\" alt=\"Fig Leaves by Eva Kosmas Flores\" width=\"1467\" height=\"2200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup.jpg 1467w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-567x850.jpg 567w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-900x1350.jpg 900w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Fig-Leaf-Syrup-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1467px) 100vw, 1467px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So now that you\u2019re in on the secret, don\u2019t tell anyone. Kidding! You can tell people. I\u2019ve told you. I mean really, who am I to say not to tell anyone, I just told the internet, and that\u2019s basically the same thing as telling a billion people. Anyway! The recipe I\u2019m sharing here is essentially a simple syrup made with a mixture of honey and granulated sugar, because I *really* love the way the honey adds to the flavor of the fig leaves. But if you want pure, unadulterated fig leaf flavor, you can feel free to swap out the honey for just good old granulated sugar.<\/p>\n<p>As for what you can do with the fig leaf syrup, it is <u>REALLY<\/u> *<em>extremely*<\/em> good as a sweetener for your morning coffee or tea (\u2190 that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been using mine for and let me tell you\u2014it is a Treat with a capital T!) You can also drizzle it on top of unfrosted cake to sweeten it up a bit, or on top of yogurt and granola for a bit of extra sweetness, or use it in place of any cocktail recipe that calls for simple syrup to infuse some extra-tastiness into your drink. But syrup isn\u2019t the only way to enjoy the flavor of the fig leaf, it also makes for a really wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riverford.co.uk\/recipes\/fig-leaf-panna-cotta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">panna cotta<\/a>, too! I\u2019ve also made fig leaf extract (aka infused vodka) with it before, but am having a hard time finding any recipes online for that, so I\u2019ll just have to write it up and share it next year during fig season \ud83d\ude42 And once you actually have figs, <a href=\"https:\/\/adventuresincooking.com\/fig-cheesecake-tart-with-honey-and-pistachios\/\">this cheesecake<\/a> is pretty stellar, too.
