Simple Syrup

Here's how to make your own Simple Syrup:

Ingredients:
  • 1 part Sugar
  • 1 part Water
Instructions:
  1. Bring water to a boil in sauce pan.
  2. Stir sugar into water until completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool
Alternative Instructions:
  1. Pour sugar and water into a bottle.
  2. Cap bottle and shake vigorously until sugar dissolves.

Notes:
This is a basic Simple Syrup Recipe.  It can be altered to adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of sugar.  Sometimes I prefer a Rich Simple Syrup of 2 parts sugar to 1 part water.  While 1:1 simple syrup can be made without boiling the water, as noted above, rich simple syrup must be made with boiling water.
