Simple Syrup
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
Instructions
- Place water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil and then simmer for a few minutes until sugar dissolves. This happens very quickly and you must watch it at all times to avoid it boiling over.
- If you are adding herbs, spices or fruit to your syrup add with the sugar and water and then follow the above instructions.
- All to cool and infuse for 25mins to 1hr. I left mine overnight.
- Strain syrup and store in a jar for up to three weeks.
Notes
Infusion Ideas
Herbs: Fresh herbs like mint, rosemary, or basil can be added to the syrup once the sugar has dissolved.
Spices: Whole spices like cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, or cloves work too.
Fruit and Berries: Fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries. NOTE: I did find the blueberry syrup very sweet so I preferred the Rosemary and Mint.
