How Do You Make Simple Sugar Syrup?
There are so many drink and cocktail recipes that call for sugar syrup in the ingredients. Sugar syrup (also known as simple syrup) is a water and sugar mixture that easily dissolves into drinks and/or cocktails to add just a little bit of sweetness. Even though sugar syrup is extremely simple to make, and is very popular, most people don’t know what it is, and therefore don’t know how to make it. So let’s go over the simple steps to make simple syrup. Bring the water to a boil over medium or high heat in a small to medium sized saucepan. Place the sugar in the boiling water. There is no need to turn the temperature down, you can leave it on full boil. Stir the sugar/water mixture until all of the sugar has dissolved. Remove the sugar syrup from the heat, and let cool until ready to use.
