Simple Syrup Recipe

 There is a basic unflavored simple syrup, used when making lemonade from fresh lemons, limes and other such items.

There are two ingredients in simple syrup:

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

Combine the sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a boil, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

Store in a clean jar in the refrigerator for up to a month. 

Note: some recipes call for two cups of sugar to one cup of water. It makes a thicker syrup.
