Simple Syrup

Simple Syrup requires only water and granulated syrup, and can easily be made in only a few minutes. It's a building block for cocktails or for nonalcoholic drinks, and can also be used to sweeten iced tea or coffee, or even to brush over cakes before frosting to keep them moist. You can even flavor simple syrup by steeping ingredients like Vanilla beans, herbs or citrus peel in it. Simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
