Simple Syrup
By: mama's kitchen
Aug 20, 2008
This can be used to sweeten all kinds of things. I use it most for tea and mixed drinks. Cheaper than buying the bottled stuff at the store AND can be flavored simply by adding some extract in the flavor you want for the finished product. I have added mint, orange and vanilla extracts just to name a few. Start with about 1/2 tsp and taste. Then add more if you desire.
2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, Firmly Packed
- 2 cups water
Directions
1
Combine sugars with with water in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir often to keep from scorching.2
Once mixture boils, reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Store at room temperature sealed tightly in a glass jar for best results.

This is my first time making simple syrup. I'm glad I finally did. There are a few recipes I'm wanting to try calling for this. It made a lot more than what I thought or maybe I done something wrong. Anyhow it has great flavor. I can't wait to try it in my drinks. Edited: Made for Bevy Tag Nov 08 Thanks mama for posting this recipe. :0)~

I have a few recipes in my "to do" folder requiring simple syrup, so I figured it was about time I made some! I saw Guy Fieri on the Food Network keep his in a clear plastic squirt bottle, so I got one yesterday at Walmart (for under $1) and I was good to go. I did add 1 tsp of Vanilla flavor and it is wonderful! Made for BEVY TAG (so that I can make some more bevy's).
