SUGAR SYRUPS
Simple Syrup (Version 1 – heavy)
Simple syrups are the base of most of
the flavoured syrups. We have created
two versions; this one is a true
simple syrup, meaning that it is
equal parts sugar to water, while the
second is a bit less concentrated.
They take little time to prepare, and are
good to have on hand to sweeten cold
beverages such as iced coffee and tea.
This version is perfect for mixing into
cocktails, for it cuts the bite of the alcohol
a bit better than the lighter version.
Makes about 3½ cups (185 ml) 2 cups (500 ml) granulated sugar 2 cups (500 ml) water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a
small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the
heat and allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Simple Syrup (Version 2 – light)
This is a lighter version of our simple syrup.
It’s a bit less concentrated and has the
perfect amount of sweetness for
regular sodas.
Makes about 2½ cups (625 ml) 1 cups (250 ml) granulated sugar 2 cup (500 ml) water
1. Put both the sugar and water into a
small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to medium to allow mixture to simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved. Stir occasionally.
2. Remove the saucepan from the
heat and allow to cool completely before using. Syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
