Simple Syrup
Description: Make this simple syrup recipe and enjoy cocktails at home! Simple syrup is so easy to make. Recipe as written yields 3/4 cup (made with sugar) or 1 cup (made with honey). It can easily be scaled up or down to suit your needs; just use equal parts water and sweetener.
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar or honey
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar (or honey) and water. Warm the mixture over medium heat, stirring often, until the sweetener is fully incorporated and the mixture is clear (it’s done when you no longer see any sugar granules or swirls of honey). No need to cook it any longer at this point.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Use as needed. Store any leftover simple syrup in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
