Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup water

Instructions

  • Put sugar and water in a saucepan and simmer.
    Simmer on low heat and stir until sugar completely dissolves.
    ¾ cup sugar, ¾ cup water
  • Take off heat and cool.
  • Pour syrup into an airtight container.
    Syrup will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • This recipe makes a cup (16 tablespoons) of simple syrup. Use 1-2 tablespoons of syrup to sweeten a drink.
  • To cool down the syrup quicker, this recipe uses simmered water, which is warm enough to dissolve the sugar.
  • Simple syrup can be made without hot water. Put water and sugar into an cocktail shaker or a jar with a tight lid, and shake it vigorously until sugar dissolves. It involves a little more work and time.
