What each ingredient does
- Raw cane sugar
- Dissolves into the water to form a sweet, pourable syrup that keeps well.
The step that matters
Cook until the sugar fully dissolves. Stirring until no sugar crystals remain prevents them from re-forming later, which would leave the cooled syrup grainy. Reducing the heat after boiling limits evaporation, keeping the sugar-to-water ratio close to the intended balance.
