What is "simple syrup" or how is it made?

Hi Becky!

Simple syrup is a super-easy, two-ingredient sweetener made by dissolving sugar in water. It’s commonly used in iced teas, lemonades, cocktails, and even for keeping cakes moist.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
3. Let it cool, then pour into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid.
4. Store in the fridge for up to one month.

You can also customize it by infusing flavors, such as mint, ginger, citrus peels, or lavender, while it’s simmering.
