Simple Syrup

Simple Syrup is a simple mixture of water and sugar.  It’s used mainly in the making of drinks.

Here’s how to make it.

• 1 part sugar
• 1 part water

Combine the amounts of sugar and water you will need in a microwave safe container and heat till hot.  Mix untill the sugar has disolved.  Then cool the mixture and reserve till ready to use.

What’s great about simple syrup is that it allows you to add sugar to cold drinks easily.  Since you’re cooling the simple syrup before using it you wont increase you drinks temperature and melt your ice.

Also while you’re making that simple syrup you could add flavor to it by infusing it with lime zest, orange zest, lemon zest, cinamon or anything else you can think of.  Just make sure to strain before using.
