Homemade Simple Syrup
It just takes 2 ingredients and a few minutes to make a basic simple syrup. Here's how:- In a saucepan, combine equal parts granulated sugar and water (1 cup sugar + 1 cup water).
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
- Transfer to an airtight glass container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a month.
