Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Step 3
Once dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
Step 5
To test the consistency, dip a spoon into the syrup and let it cool slightly. It should coat the back of the spoon but still pour easily.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely. It will thicken more as it cools.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight container or jar and store it at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
