Simple syrup as the name suggests is incredibly easy to make yourself. It’s also the most budget-friendly beverage sweetener you can find costing just a few cents per batch. Also known as “sugar syrup” the only ingredients you need are sugar and water so anyone can make it.

Simple and quick recipe for simple syrup
Once you know how easy it is you’ll discover how essential simple syrup is to have on hand for your bar and kitchen. It’s found in many mixed drink and cocktail recipes and you can use it to sweeten your coffee tea and homemade lemonades and sodas. Because the sugar is already dissolved in the syrup it’s much easier to mix into cold drinks.
There are two primary simple syrup ratios. Rich simple syrup means that you use more sugar than water to create a richer syrup. It has a 2:1 ratio and is sweeter and thicker. You can also make a simple syrup with equal parts (1:1) sugar and water. It will be a little thinner and will add just a touch of sweetness to your drinks. The 1:1 syrup is great for flavored syrups and is primarily used by bartenders so many cocktail recipes assume you will use that. If you prefer a richer syrup know that you will probably want to use about 1/4 ounce less than what your drink recipe calls for.
With either option the recipe will yield between 1 cup and 1 1/2 cups of syrup. You can make a small or large batch as you like but keep the same proportions. Once done store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container where it will keep for up to a month.
