Simple Syrup

Recipe husband tested from Alice's Kitchen

I make this simple syrup regularly during the warm weather months and keep it on hand in the fridge for use in sweetening tea or lemonade and other drinks. (Try it with Sparkling Roasted Vanilla Lemonade which is on this blog.) The nice thing is that when you sweeten drinks with this, you won't find a glob of sugar granules at the bottom of your glasses. A little syrup goes a long way to sweetening drinks, so easy does it.

2 cups sugar
2 cups water

Put ingredients in a saucepan and heat to boiling. Lower heat and simmer until the sugar is melted. Remove from heat and let come to room temperature. Pour syrup in a pitcher and keep in the fridge for sweetening drinks.
