How to Make Sugar Syrup

 Make Sugar Syrup 

There are several ways to make sugar syrup but outlined below are the two methods i use depending on that equipment i have at the time. All sugar syrup recipes provided ate for a 50/50 mix.

Method 1

Pour one cup of granulated white sugar into a saucepan with one cup of hot water. Add more cups of equal measures for more for more syrup. Stir as your pour and carry on stirring and simmering until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let the water even come close to boiling and only simmer for as long as it takes to dissolve the sugar. 

Allow the syrup to cool, then pour directly into an empty bottle, labels removed and marked with white tape around the neck (international symbol for sugar syrup). If kept in a refrigerator at all times, the mixture will last for several months. If stored at room temperature on the bar, seven days is the appropriate shelf life. 

Method 2

Pour one kilo of granulated white sugar into a blender cup with one liter of boiling water. This will give you the perfect 50/50 ratio. Blend sugar for 30-45 seconds or until dissolved. After blending, the mixture will be very cloudy, however this is very normal and will eventually become clear as the syrup settles. Allow the syrup to cool, then pour directly into an empty bottle, labels removed and marked with white tape around the neck 9International symbol for sugar syrup). If kept in a refrigerator at all times, the mixture will last for several months. It stored at room temperature on the bar, seven days is the appropriate shelf life.
