SUGAR SYRUPS

Simple Syrup (Versi on 1 – heavy)

Simple syrups are the base of m ost of the
flavored syrups. We have create d two versions;
this one is a true simple syrup, me aning that
it is equal parts sugar to wat er, while the second
is a bit less concentrated. Th ey take little time
to prepare, and are good to have o n hand
to sweeten cold beverages such a s iced coffee
and tea. This version is per fect for mixing
into cocktails, for it cuts th e bite of the alcohol
a bit better than the lighter ver sion.
Makes about 3½ cups
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a small
saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a
boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to
allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has
completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow
to cool completely before using. Syrup can be
stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator
for up to a month.
