Flavored simple syrups are so easy to make at home using less than 5 ingredients.
Simple syrup is a liquid sweetener made of water and sugar. Sugar is dissolved in water to create liquid sugar. They’re great to use in iced drinks since it can be mixed into cold beverages easily, unlike sugar which will sink to the bottom of the cup.
Flavored simple syrups are made by adding ingredients to change the taste. For example, adding vanilla extract to sugar and water creates vanilla syrup.
