Ingredients
REGULAR SIMPLE SYRUP
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
SKINNY SIMPLE SYRUP
- ¼ cup Non-calorie sweetener (or 15 individual packets).
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan add both ingredients and bring to a soft boil over medium-high heat.
- Keep mixing the sugar with a wooden spoon to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom. This will ensure all of the sugar melts all the way.
- Place in an airtight container cool completely before storing in fridge.
- Simple syrup last about 1 to 2 months in refrigerator.
Notes
Calories are for regular sugar.
Quick tip: If you want it thin follow as written and turn it off after it starts to boil. If you want a thicker syrup just cook it longer lowering the heat a little bit after it starts to boil.
To get clear Simple Syrup use purified or filtered water and high-quality sugar. Otherwise it may turn out a little yellowish. It will still taste good but it'll make a difference on the color.
