How To Make Your Own Simple Syrup

As the name dictates, it’s quite uncomplicated.

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add equal parts by volume water and sugar (example: 1 cup sugar to 1 cup water).

Simmer until the sugar has fully dissolved and the liquid has become clear.

Avoid bringing it to a boil. Let cool at room temperature.

Keep in an airtight container, preferably glass. Refrigerate. Discard after 2 weeks.
