Celery Syrup
Celery syrup may sound strange, but its light, sweet, grassy flavor is really lovely. Use it to flavor soda water, or as the base of a gin cocktail.

In a 1-quart liquid measure or bowl, stir together celery, sugar, water and celery seed; let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight.
