Notes
- To make the simple syrup: Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, but don't let it boil. Let it cool, then store in a jar in the fridge for 3 to 4 weeks. Using 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar makes about 1 ¼ cups of simple syrup.
