Simple syrup is one hot ingredient right now, and what's so great about it is that it takes minimal effort to create something special and useful. We've been noticing unique and exciting flavor combinations and recipes, like rhubarb and rosewater syrup, popping up all over the place.

To make your own flavored simple syrup, all you need to do is add whatever flavoring component (citrus zest, lavender buds, rose water) you desire into the boiling sugar water and let it infuse (the longer you let it cook together, the stronger the flavoring will be), then strain the syrup and store it. Now we can't stop daydreaming about all of the possible flavor combinations out there that we can't wait to use in Summer cocktails, iced tea, and homemade sodas. For some flavor combinations we can't wait to try, read on.

How does your garden grow? Now that the weather in California's started to warm, all of the vegetables in mine have finally started to grow! Nothing's quite large enough to pick yet, except for a few nasturtium plants, which are growing like weeds.

When life gives you nasturtium leaves, make nasturtium pesto! I used the traditional ingredients in a basil pesto, but substituted the basil with a big bowl of hand-picked nasturtiums.

See what I topped with this condiment, then make your own version of this fresh pesto.

I have always wondered why my scrambled eggs aren't as light and fluffy as the ones in restaurants, but recently a friend of mine suggested using an immersion blender to beat eggs together before cooking, and now I'm hooked. The immersion blender beats air into the eggs, making them fluffy, frothy, and delicious. All that's left is to cook the eggs in a hot pan with a pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil.

What is your method for making fluffy scrambled eggs?

Water is essential and expected at every get-together, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. Next time you host a party (or even a wedding), bring some color and flavor into your pitcher of water with lots of ice and fresh fruit! See our favorite fruity combinations below.

The next time you host a party, consider some of these flavor combinations for your water:

• Fresh mint and sliced lemons.
• Sliced green apples and oranges.
• Quartered strawberries and fresh mint.
• Raspberries and sliced grapefruit.
• Tangerines and blueberries.
• Sliced oranges and fresh rosemary.

What combinations of fruit do you put in your water?
