Simple Sugar Syrup

Here is a simple sugar syrup recipe that I use in my cocktails.

It keeps well in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.

Recipe adapted from 52 Christmas Cocktails

Makes 250ml-300ml

250ml white sugar
250ml cold water 

Combine sugar and water in a medium sized saucepan over a medium heat.

Cook, stirring, occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the water comes to the boil and the sugar is dissolved.

Simmer gently for 10 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly.

Remove from heat and refrigerate until cold.
