The ingredient list for homemade simple syrup is incredibly simple: you only need sugar and water. The 1:1 ratio ensures the perfect balance between sweetness and liquid. The preparation is as straightforward as the recipe itself:

Storage
Pour the Simple Syrup into a sealable bottle or glass and store it in the refrigerator. The shelf life can vary, but typically it lasts for up to about a month. As long as it's clear without any white cloudiness, it should be good.

Until then, enjoy making cocktails!
