Referred to by some as simple syrup, I think of it as essential syrup. While it’s very easy to make, it is important not to over-boil the syrup. The longer you boil the sugar and water mixture, the thicker the syrup will become. When it gets too thick, it will not be absorbed as well by the sweets you are preparing it for.

Ingredients

For the Syrup

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2

Method

Prepare Ahead

You can prepare this days to weeks in advance. Cool completely prior to storing it in an airtight container at room temperature.
