Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Airtight container for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar see notes
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and brown sugar, stirring occasionally as the mixture heats up. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Remove from the heat. Allow simple syrup to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Choose light brown sugar for a milder, caramel-like flavor or dark brown sugar for a richer, more robust molasses flavor.
- Heat gently over medium heat. Bring mixture to a low simmer, not a boil, to prevent crystalizing or over-thickening.
- Store in an airtight container for 3-4 weeks or freeze simple syrup in ice cube trays.
