Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- None optional flavor additions (e.g., vanilla extract, citrus peel, or herbs)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water in equal parts (1 cup each).
Step 2
Place the pan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved into the water. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
If desired, add flavor components such as a splash of vanilla extract, a strip of citrus peel, or a sprig of fresh herb (e.g., mint or rosemary) once the sugar is dissolved.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to simmer lightly for 1-2 minutes to infuse the optional flavors, then remove from heat.
Step 5
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve if you’ve added any solids like peel or herbs.
Step 6
Let the syrup cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or jar for storage.
Step 7
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Shake or stir before use if separated.
