Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Add sugar and water in a saucepan and stir to combine.
  • Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until sugar crystals are completely dissolved. Let cool. Store in refrigerator for up to one month if using an airtight glass container.

Notes

  • Our simple syrup is a darker because we use cane sugar. White sugar will make a clear simple syrup.
  • Make as much or as little as you need, just use equal parts sugar and water. 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar will make about 2 cups of simple syrup (32 servings/tablespoons).
  • Looking for a sugar free alternative? Use a sugar substitute measure cup-for-cup such as granulated Stevia.
  • Add 2-3 cinnamon sticks to make Cinnamon Simple Syrup.
