How to Make Simple Syrup.
Okay, so — [ laughs ]
the best way to make simple syrup.
It's just one part water,
and one part ultra-fine sugar.
This is the kind that I like to use:
C & H Bakers Sugar.
It's ultra-fine; it's pretty cool.
It works for me.
And I don't know how much I've got left here, let's find out.
So let's do one cup—
So how much do I have? Two cups.
So two cups of sugar.
And we're going to add two cups of water.
Alright, two cups of water.
Then we'll turn on the heat.
We're going to bring it to a boil.
Kinda.
A light rolling boil.
We're not making candy or anything like that.
Basically, you want to get all the sugar dissolved.
And you can see right now, that the sugar is disappearing already.
It's starting to disappear.
It's starting to absorb (into the mixture).
And we'll just let that heat up for a spell;
maybe give it a stir here and there to make sure there's no chunks forming.
And I have the heat up about 7/10ths of the way.
Okay, so it hasn't even been five minutes,
and I don't know if you can see,
but that is clear.
That is like clear liquid now.
There is nothing—
no chunks of sugar.
So be careful, there's steam—
it can still burn you.
Once you get to this stage, you're pretty much okay.
For me, this is usually pretty good, right here.
There we go, we've got a little boil going on.
I'll bring the syrup.
Okay, so that didn't take long,
that took like—I don't know,
maybe five to seven minutes.
Let's go ahead and set it to the side.
And we're going to let it cool down,
and then we're going to go from there.
So, now that it's done,
it just looks like clear like that.
Now you can put your simple syrup in the fridge;
just put it in a container
and I just pull it out when I need it.
There you go, Simple Syrup.
Peace out and Happy Drinking.
