Estimated cooking difficulty: ★
Ingredients and Tools
Ingredients
- Granulated sugar
- Water
Tools
- Sealable container (high-borosilicate glass bottles are recommended and inexpensive)
Ratios
Recommended ratio: Sugar : Water = 1 : 1. This makes it easy to control sugar amounts; for example, to get 15 grams of sugar, measure out 30 grams of syrup.
- 100 grams of water
- 100 grams of granulated sugar
Instructions
- Mix the weighed granulated sugar with the water in the container until dissolved.
- Seal the container and refrigerate.
Additional Notes
The water can be hot or cold. If you need the syrup quickly, you can dissolve the sugar in hot water and then let the syrup cool.
The prepared syrup does not spoil easily and can typically be stored in the refrigerator for a week.
