Here’s how to make simple syrup for coffee.

Simple Syrup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Equal parts water and granulated sugar. (Yes, really.)
  • 1 cup of each makes about 1.5 cups of simple syrup.

Instructions:

  1. Combine your water and granulated sugar in a saucepan.
  2. Heat on low-medium, stirring the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  4. That’s it! Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three weeks.

Raw and White Sugar

 

For something unique, add your favourite herb to the pan once the sugar melts, and allow it to steep until the mixture cools.
