How to make your own Syrup?

I will teach you how to make your own syrups and try a new once every week. Making a syrup is actually not that difficult, but if you are a rookie it can be kind of tricky! So follow me through the below steps and you'll be a pro in no time.

The simple syrup

We will start making a syrup that we use a lot! Simple syrup is a commonly used ingredient in many cocktails and other drink recipes. It's also easy to make!

What do we need to make the simple syrup?

Ingredients

• 1 cup water, preferably filtered

• 1 cup granulated sugar

Equipment

• Medium saucepan

• Liquid and dry measuring cups

• Funnel (optional)

• Pint jar

How do we make the syrup?

Instructions

1. Heat the water: Heat the water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until hot, but do not bring to a boil.

2. Stir in the sugar: Add the sugar and stir until fully dissolved.

3. Cool and store: Let the syrup cool to room temperature before using or storing. Using a funnel if needed, transfer the simple syrup into a glass jar and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Recipe Notes

Rich simple syrup: For a thicker, heavier syrup, simply adjust the proportions. Many bartenders prefer a 2:1 sugar-to-water ratio.

Adapting and using simple syrup

The world of homemade syrup is endless. You can get pretty creative with fruit syrups, herb syrups, spiced syrups, and more. Making your own syrups at home is a great way to take your home creations to a new level by introducing different flavor profiles into your cocktail. Simple syrup is just the start.

Simple syrup isn't limited to cocktail swizzling either — it's also ideal for flavoring coffee or tea (especially iced). You can also drizzle a dry cake with simple syrup to moisten or flavor it, and use a large batch of simple syrup to make a simple sorbet or granita with fresh fruit.
