Simple syrup is very easy to make at home and much more cost-effective than buying in-store. Whether it is for adding to your iced coffee or your cocktails, it is nice to have some on hand. Try out this SIMPLE recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 cup filtered water
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Directions

1. Heat the water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, but do not bring to a boil.
2. Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
3. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using or storing. Using a funnel if needed, transfer the simple syrup into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Notes: Rich simple syrup: For a thicker, heavier syrup, simply adjust the proportions. Many bartenders prefer a 2:1 sugar-to-water ratio.
