Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Stirring Spoon
  • Clean jar with a tight-fitting lid

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Combine 1 cup of white sugar and 1 cup of water in a medium saucepan.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Continue stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved in the water.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the simple syrup to cool down to room temperature.
  • Once cooled, pour the syrup into a clean jar.
  • Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Store the simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Notes

Heat the water first before adding the sugar. This won't ruin the syrup; it simply speeds up the heating process. By heating the water initially, you can save time compared to heating the sugar and water together.
