Simple Syrup

Simple syrup is a pretty common ingredient, that is simple to make (hence the name). This is often used for mixed drinks because it allows you to add sweet flavor to drinks without having to worry about sugar that didn't dissolve. I have also seen it used in desserts and such. It will last at least a month in the fridge.

*1 c. sugar
*1 c. water
Boil together over medium-high heat until sugar is dissolved. Let cool and refrigerate until needed.
