This syrup is good to have on hand for making sorbets and certain cocktails. A plus: It keeps for a long time.
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Directions
Place the sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool syrup to room temperature. Use immediately or refrigerate indefinitely in a covered container until needed.
