Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Flavor extract of choice (e.g., cherry, raspberry, lemon, etc.)
- 4 drops Food coloring (optional, to match flavor)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Step 3
Once the sugar is fully dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the flavor extract of your choice and mix well. If you are using food coloring, add the drops at this stage and stir until the color is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a clean bottle or squeezable container for easy dispensing.
Step 6
Refrigerate the syrup for at least 1 hour before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
To use, pour the syrup generously over crushed ice to create your snow cones. Enjoy immediately!
