Instructions

  • Once the sugar is dissolved, simmer the flame and allow this liquid to boil for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Keep stirring in regular intervals.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and turn off the stove.
  • Allow the syrup to cool completely and by now the syrup would have thickened slightly.
  • Store it in a glass container and enjoy with your favorite drink.

Notes

  1. Organic sugar is slightly golden brown in color; hence the syrup seen is brown in color. You can replace this with white sugar to avoid coloration in the syrup.
  2. Do not allow the syrup to boil for a long time otherwise the syrup will be too thick once it cools.
  3. You can try using coconut sugar or palm sugar also of you like the nutty flavor of these sugars.
  4. Add spices like ginger / mint leaves / cardamom / clove / cinnamon to make flavored simple syrup. These flavors enhance the taste and aroma of your drinks.
