Easy Homemade Simple Syrup Recipe

Simple syrup is a simple solution for sweetening your favorite drinks. In addition to cocktails, add it to lemonade and iced tea for a quick and easy drink mix. Store in the refrigerator indefinitely-no needs to make more at a time than you need.

Simple syrup is a sweetener made from equal parts water and table sugar heated together until dissolved. This simple syrup can be used in place of store-bought sweeteners. For example, simple syrup makes frozen drinks taste less like ice when added to them. Mixing, flavoring, and sweetening all in one. Simply combine sugar and water, heat, then chill until sugar is dissolved. Strain out sugar for beautiful pure syrup.

A staple in any home, simple syrup is made by dissolving sugar into hot water and can be used to sweeten desserts, cocktails, and other dishes. It is an essential ingredient in a range of marinades, syrups, and more. The process to create simple syrup is as easy as 1-2-3! While you can buy it from the store, it’s very easy to make at home and use it for making your own signature drinks.
