simple syrup

Cooled Thin Syrup
3 parts water
1 part sugar
Useful for brushing onto cakes to add a bit of extra sweetness and moisture

Medium Thick Syrup
2 parts water
1 part sugar
Great for adding sweetness to teas and coffees

Thick Simple Syrup
1 part water
1 part sugar
Excellent for candying fruits and veggies


Direction:
1. Place the water and sugar in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and watch as the sugar dissolves. Do not stir.
2. Some cooks choose to add flavoring to their simple syrups. The correct time to add flavoring is before the water comes to a boil.
3. Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. If you would like to flavor the syrup with alcohols like rum or amaretto, add the alcohol after the syrup has cooled to room temperature.
