Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved.

Notes

*Add as much or as little syrup as you like to your brewed drinks. 
*Store in the fridge for 5 days. Shake syrup before each use.
*I use organic cane sugar in my syrup, but any granulated sugar should work.
*As a sugar free peppermint syrup option, you could try granulated monk fruit.
