Notes
*Simple syrup
place one cup water in saucepan with one cup sugar and heat until sugar is completely dissolved over medium heat while stirring occasionally. Allow syrup to cool.
Simple syrup is an easy way to sweeten iced tea, lemonade or any drink. Store at room temperature for one week or in fridge for up to three weeks. I place the simple syrup in a squeeze bottle which makes it easy to use a small amount at a time to adjust your sweetness in drinks easily.
