Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Set a small saucepot over high heat. Add the water and sugar to the pot.
  2. Stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir, then remove from heat. (If infusing herbs, add them to the hot simple syrup.)
  3. Cool to room temperature, then place in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Keep simple syrup in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 weeks.
  • Looking for a Sugar-Free, Low Carb, or Keto Simple Syrup? Simply swap the sugar for an equal amount of keto-friendly sugar substitute, like monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. Then stir in 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum for thickening.
