Steps:
- Choose your sugar. White, granulated sugar is the default for simple syrup, but you do have other options. Superfine sugar reduces the risk of crystallization. A raw brown sugar such as turbinado or demerara creates a brown, molasses-flavored syrup good for rum or bourbon cocktails. Do not use confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar). This usually contains cornstarch, which does not dissolve in water. The syrup will be cloudy or grainy.
- Measure water and sugar. Measure the sugar and water and combine in a saucepan. Use an equal amount of both ingredients for a basic syrup. This is a great option if you don't want to risk anything, since it will give you a low margin of error for the recipe. For a more concentrated syrup, use up to twice as much sugar as water. A more concentrated syrup has a higher risk of crystallizing back into solids, but will last longer in the fridge. Some bartenders prefer a concentrated syrup because it can sweeten a cocktail without adding too much water. For greater accuracy, measure ingredients by weight on a kitchen scale. Using volume measurements (cups or milliliters) won't cause major issue, but you'll end up with about ⅞ the amount of sugar.
- Heat and stir. Turn on the heat under your sugar-water mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until all the sugar crystals have dissolved. The sugar usually dissolves within a few minutes, but a large batch may take longer. Do not let the mixture boil. If you lose too much water, the sugar may not be able to dissolve. For very concentrated syrups (at least a 2:1 ratio of sugar to water), stir the last bits of water gently. Too much stirring when the maximum amount of sugar has dissolved can cause crystals to reform.
- Wash sugar off the side. A single grain of sugar left in the syrup can create a large mass of solid crystals. If you see any sugar left on the side of the pot, brush it down to the syrup using a wet pastry brush. Alternatively, just put the lid on the pot for a few minutes, and the condensed water should run down the sides and clean them. Because the lid traps most of the water vapor, it's all right if the syrup boils for a short time while the lid is on. To be safe, stick with a brief simmer.
- Set aside the syrup to cool. it will be ready to store once it reaches room temperature. If the sugar crystallizes when it cools, either too much water boiled away, or not all the sugar dissolved. Add a little water and heat it up again.
- Sterilize a container. Bring a small, separate pot of water to a boil. Once boiled, pour directly into a clean jar or bottle. Pour boiling water over the lid of the container as well. Sterilizing the container will reduce the chance that your syrup re-crystallizes, and prolong shelf life. Unless using immediately, store in a clear container so you can watch for signs of mold.
- Store the syrup. Dump the hot water out of the container, and immediately pour in the room temperature syrup. Fasten the lid and store in the refrigerator. A 1:1 syrup stays good for about one month. A 2:1 syrup stays good for about six months. To keep your syrup useful for much longer, stir in a spoonful of high-proof vodka.

SIMPLE SUGAR SYRUP
Simple Syrup is little more then a mixture of sugar and water. The sweetness and/or density is a matter of preference. Thin and medium syrup is best for cocktails, while thicker syrup is used for sundaes, fountain drinks and deserts.
