Wild Quinine Simple Syrup - Organic
Our Wild Quinine Simple Syrup features Parthenium integrifolium, a native herb known for its naturally bitter, mineral-rich qualities. Unlike traditional tonic ingredients made from imported Cinchona bark, wild quinine has long served as a homegrown alternative used by Indigenous herbalists. We grow wild quinine right here on our farm, where its bright summer blooms support a wide range of native pollinators like sweat bees, mining bees, and beneficial flies. It’s a hardy, sustainable plant that thrives in tough conditions. This syrup balances the grounded bitterness of wild quinine with raw organic cane sugar and a touch of citrus. It brings a sharp, earthy edge to all kinds of drinks and dishes, and is an easy way to add complexity and a sense of the wild to whatever you’re mixing up.
