Jigger: 1 1/2 ounces, 3/4 ounces

Simple Sugar Syrup


Ingredients
1 to 2 cups sugar
1 cup water
Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.Bring the water to a boil. Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water,
stirring constantly.Once the sugar is dissolved completely, reduce the heat, cover, and
allow to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (the more sugar, the less simmering time).Remove
the pan from the heat. Allow to cool completely and thicken, then bottle.Use in your
favorite drink recipes and enjoy!
Tips
Don't expect the syrup at either ratio to be as thick as maple syrup or honey. Instead, it
will be thin and very easy to pour—more of a consistency similar to a liqueur.
Do not allow the syrup to boil for too long or the syrup will be too thick once it cools.
To prolong the shelf life, add a little vodka. Usually between a tablespoon and an ounce
is enough, depending on how large the batch of syrup is.

peel.
