Simple Syrup
Simple Syrup is a great ingredient to have on hand. I'm particularly fond of using it in cold drinks that need a bit of sweet. The "liquid sugar" eliminates the frustration of getting regular granulated sugar to melt in cold liquids. Simple Syrup is also great for sorbets and granitas or glazing cakes.

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups water

Method
Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over moderate heat. Bring just to the boil, ensure the sugar is completely disolved and remove from heat; set aside to cool.

Simple Syrup keeps indefinitely, cover and refrigerate.
