Easy to follow directions and list of your ingredients.
I do a 2/1 ratio or 2cups of sugar and 1cup of water.
Loved this recipe but turned it into a Nojito by adding fresh lime juice and about 7 fresh mint leaves, works well with mojitos too but a little more water. Froze them in silicone muffin cups and when needed I add a little hot water, one of the 1/3 filled nojito muffin cups, lots of ice and some seltzer (and a little water if necessary). Great on a really hot day!
I add 3 tbs. of Grand Marnier to the simple syrup when combining the other two ingredients. Let mixture cool then pour it over sliced strawberries and let sit for at least 1 hour. Ladle strawberries over dessert cups or pound cake and top with whipped cream. So easy and delicious!
I infuse mine with fresh herbs; mint, lavender, orange balm, etc. Use in mocktails!
I premade my Thai Tea mix, but discovered afterwards it wasn't quite sweet enough. With my batch I added Real Vanilla Paste (seeds) and some lavender flowers (These are specifically for cooking. You can find it in the spice section of your local grocery store)What a wonderful taste and aroma. My husband actually used my batch in his ice tea! Very yummy!
Super easy and quick. Takes just as long as boiling water! And so much better than granulated sugar for lemonade, tea, drinks, etc.
1 to 1 ratlio is a little weak. I think 1¼ cup sugar might be more sweet.
