Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar

Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 2 cups of water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture gently to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Continue stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved, and the liquid becomes clear, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Do not let the syrup come to a rapid boil; keep it at a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Once the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup has reached a desired consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 6
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before transferring it to a clean, airtight container.
Step 7
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir or shake before use if it settles over time.
