(From Afros and Allergies, a content creator I follow on Facebook and highly recommend): “This is the liquid left over from steeping some apples and blackberries in vanilla, sugar, arrowroot powder (like corn starch) and cinnamon for my dessert. It’s kinda syrupy now. Any ideas for how to use it?”
Ooooooh tasty!! 
I often use these kinds of leftover cooking liquids as a mixer for cocktails. Or just dilute it with water or tea or soda, and it’s like a homemade soft drink.
Or, sometimes I pour the liquid around my fruit trees. I figure it helps supply them with extra nutrients.
Little things like this may seem small, and a lot of people would just throw it down the drain without another thought, but they are missing a super treat and passing up what is basically a form of free money!

PS. Also:
• The juice left over from cooking vegetables is a resource too! All on its own, without having to add anything else, it is a nice nutritious drink, and often it’s very alkaline which is a lot of us are finding is helpful for our health. That veggie-water can also supply nutrients to the garden. Of course, let it cool down before pouring it on the soil around your trees or other plant babies!
• In permaculture design, everything is a resource. Nature doesn’t make trash! What may seem like a waste product is a resource that someone or something else wants or needs. And usually it turns out to our own benefit as well! Money in the bank, as I am fond of pointing out! Not all money is green, made of paper, or issued by a central government. <wink>
