Simple syrup, also known as “sugar syrup,” is the perfect addition to cocktails, iced coffees, and even cake.

The easiest recipe you will find. Simply mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water and slowly bring it to low heat. Try adding some additional flavours with herbs, citrus zest, and spices to bring your creation to life.

Why do you use syrup rather than sugar? Simple really, liquid dissolves faster, plus you get to store it in the fridge, ready for your next tipple.
