Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is nothing more than a solution of sugar in water and because sugar is already dissolved into the water, you need not worry about it settling to the bottom of your cocktail as you drink.

It is a very common ingredient used while making cocktails or any other drinks. Its also used to brush on the cake before icing to get the extra moisture to cake. The best is you can make it in a batch and store in a fridge and use it as when you require it. It sounds so simple and also its easy to make.

Ingredients:

1cup Sugar
1cup Water

Method:

1. In a pan combine sugar and water. Bring it to a boil till the sugar dissolves completely.

2. Put off the flame and let it cool to room temperature.
3. Store in a bottle or a jar and refrigerate till you need to use in the recipes.

NOTE:

• Once the syrup is prepared it has to be cooled down completely and refrigerated before adding in any cocktails or any other drinks.
• I always prefer to make in small batch and store it unless I have large number of guests coming in for the cocktail party. And the cocktail recipes calls for it.
• To prepare this recipe you don't need more than 5mins of time to get the sugar dissolved in it.
• Its used in various recipes like brushing over the cakes, in cocktail, mocktails, in iced tea, to sweeten the pancakes etc.
