Notes
- Rich Syrup: Double the sugar for a thick syrup, also known as rich syrup. It has a more concentrated flavor and keeps for up to 6 months in the fridge.
- Crystallized Syrup: If the syrup crystallizes in the fridge, set the jar in a shallow bowl of hot water to help dissolve the sugar.
- Classic Simple Syrup: A 1:1 ratio of sugar to water, cooked down and stored in an airtight container in the fridge, should last up to 1 month.
- Thick Simple Syrup: A 2:1 ratio of sugar to water, cooked down into a thicker syrup and stored in an airtight container in the fridge, should last up to 6 months.
