Simple Syrup (Version 1 – heavy)

Simple syrups are the base of most of the flavored syrups. We have created two versions; this one is a true simple syrup, meaning that it is equal parts sugar to water, while the second is a bit less concentrated. They take little time to prepare, and are good to have on hand to sweeten cold beverages such as iced coffee and tea. This version is perfect for mixing into cocktails, for it cuts the bite of the alcohol a bit better than the lighter version.
