How to Make Simple Syrup
Simple syrup, as the names states is a simple both in terms of ingredients as well as the process involved in making it. This syrup is often used in cocktails and drink recipes as well as a base for fruit sauces, jams, toppings and preserves.
One common variation of this basic sugar syrup involves replacing white sugar with Demerara sugar (a raw sugar). This sugar has richer flavour but its colour can affect the appearance of the drink. Nevertheless, people who don’t want to use chemically fabricated sugar always prefer that.
