Quick Tip: Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is mostly used for cocktails and to sweeten tea, it's incredibly simple to make and lasts approximately a month in the fridge. Below are the steps to create this concoction and perfect your next drink.

Simple Syrup is a ratio recipe, 1:1, meaning the amounts of each ingredient depend entirely on your needs.

What You Will Need :

- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 cup of water

Optional Ingredients :

- Sprig of Lavender
- Vanilla Pod, sliced down the middle.
- Handful of Mint

Use the above separately to make flavored simple syrups.

What To Do:

- Combine water and sugar in a sauce pan over medium high heat.
- Heat until the sugar dissolves and water turns clear. Avoid allowing the water to come to a boil, this will crystalize your sugar.
- If you are adding any flavoring, add it with the sugar and allow to sit in the mixture for a few minutes after taking it off the heat. Remove the mint/lavender/vanilla and allow to cool.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to one month.
