  • Combine sugar and water in large saucepan over medium heat. 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • Bring the sugar mixture to a boil. Stir the sugar mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula, while it heats, to help dissolve the sugar.
  • Boil water for 1-2 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Storage: You can keep the syrup stored in your refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a month. I just store in a simple glass jar, like a mason jar.
  • Freezing: You can also freeze simple syrup for up to a year. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using.
