Notes

  1. Use a good quality water.  If you live where the water is highly chlorinated, allow the water to sit overnight before making simple syrup. 
  2. When adding the sugar to the water, stir constantly and the sugar will dissolve more quickly. 
  3. We save ours in a Mason Jar in the refrigerator, make sure to label it with the date that it was made.  It's easy to forget later.
