Simple syrup, or sugar syrup, is very easy to make and is used in many cocktails such as Jell-O Shots, Daiquiris and Hurricanes to add volume and sweetness. With this recipe you can make as small or as large a batch as you wish and store it in the refrigerator in a well sealed bottle indefinitely.
INGREDIENTS:
2 parts sugar
1 part water
PREPARATION:
Bring the water to a boil.
Dissolve the sugar into the boiling water.
Once the sugar is dissolved completely, remove the pan from the heat.
Allow to cool completely and bottle.
What I like to do is add a few drops of vanilla flavoring to the pan when I add the sugar.
You can also use whatever flavoring you desire.
This is a very simple recipe.
Does anyone else have any easy recipes to share, preferably for beverages?

It is so simple yet very useful to dilute the alchoholic drinks. Same way I make Ginger lemon syrup, which is very refershing in the summer hot. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.....
