Ingredients
1
cup
water
1
cup
sugar of your choice
(I use organic sugar, which gives the syrup an amber tinge)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and add the sugar. Stir until dissolved (the mixture will become clear when the sugar is dissolved).
Remove from heat and allow to cool. The simple syrup can be refrigerated in a bottle or other airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
