Brown Sugarcane Syrup with Sage:

Ingredients:

1 cup Panela Preparada (or other brown sugarcane sugar)
1 cup water
4-5 fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:

In a medium saucepan, combine the Panela Preparada, water, and fresh sage leaves.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until it has slightly thickened and the sage leaves have infused into the syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool completely.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the sage leaves.
