“Simple Syrup” Recipe
Sep
“Simple Syrup” is a fundamental ingredient in many beverages, especially cocktails, used to add sweetness and dissolve sugar easily.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg sugar (usually white sugar)
- 700 ml water
- 15 ml fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
Boil the sugar and water: In a pot, bring the sugar and water to a boil (avoid stirring to prevent the syrup from crystallizing later). Boil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Cool and pour into a container (glass): Turn off the heat and let the syrup cool naturally. After the syrup has cooled, add 15 ml of fresh lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Store the syrup in a glass container.
Note:
Simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for an extended period (15-30 days). Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and to keep out bacteria.
Simple syrup is a crucial ingredient in many beverages, from cocktails to tea and coffee, ensuring sweetness and consistent sugar dissolution. Give homemade simple syrup a try and use it to craft your favorite drinks!
