Notes

  • Simple syrup
  • Bring 135g (2/3 cup) of sugar and 120ml (1/2 cup) of water to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Take off the heat when bubbles just rising to the surface. Cool and transfer to a clean jar or bottle. Keep in the fridge to use in cocktails.
  • Caramel syrup
  • Bring 135g (2/3 cup) of sugar and 60ml (1/4 cup) of water to a simmer over medium low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
  • Bring to a rolling boil (without stirring) until the caramel turns a golden amber colour. 
  • Take off the heat. Stir in with 60ml (1/4 cup) warm water. You can add a pinch or salt or vanilla extract to flavour if you like. Store in the fridge as above. Caramel syrup is delicious in coffee as well as cocktails.
