Lightly toast the fig leaves in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 30-60 seconds per side, until fragrant and slightly darker in colour.
Add the water and sugar to a saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the toasted fig leaves and simmer very gently for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat, cover and leave to steep for 1-2 hours.
Strain through a fine sieve, pressing lightly on the leaves to extract the flavour.
Pour into a clean bottle or jar and refrigerate.
