Notes

  • To make simple syrup, follow these steps:

    Add equal parts water and granulated sugar to a saucepan or skillet over medium heat. I usually add a cup of each. Stir often and let the mixture gently heat up. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, you can take the syrup off the heat. Let the syrup cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a bottle to use.
