| Simple Syrup is simply sugar diluted into water. Warm water will melt the sugar much easier and faster than cold water, but really the final product needs to be liquid. Simple Syrup is added to cocktails in its liquid form so it combines the sweetness completely with the other elements in the drink. Simple Syrup does not have to be just sugar and water, Simple Syrup can be flavored with almost anythingfrom herbs to fruit or spicy. Yo0u just add your flavor to the Simple Syrup, let it steep for a day or longer. Strain out any solids and your ready to pour. It is easier to flavor the water first then add the sugar. |
