Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar and water in a jar or other container.
  • Stir until the sugar dissolves (about 2 minutes). If using a mason jar, screw the lid on and shake to dissolve the sugar more quickly. Use warm water (but not boiling) for even quicker syrup.
  • Store leftover simple syrup in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Honey Syrup: use equal parts water and honey.
Demerara Syrup: use equal parts hot water and demerara sugar.
