How to Make Simple Syrup

This might seem a bit redundant, but I just recently discovered the use of Simple Syrup  (and how to make it).  Several of my favorite popsicle recipes and even my favorite cocktail — the Amaretto Sour, call for simple syrup,  sooo I thought I would share how to make simple syrup.

Simple Syrup is an easy syrup that is merely sugar being dissolved in equal parts of water over heat. It’s a perfect addition to coffee and tea and , well, it’s great to have on hand for cocktails and other recipes!

I’ve made a few batches of simple syrup now and store it in a mason jar.  I enjoy the lower cost version of making it myself too.  Enjoy!
