Cool Trick for Making Simple Syrup
This actually makes simple syrup a little complicated in my opinion, but its a pretty interesting idea to avoid the huge pain of pouring the hot mixture into a bottle upon completion so its absolutely worth taking note. The traditional way of making this crucial cocktail ingredient is to bring water to a boil and add sugar until mixed completelym, then bottle (keep airtight) and refrigerate. Doesn’t really go bad and a bottle’s worth will last a long time. My preferred recipe is 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water, plus any additions you might want to add a permanent flavor.
