What each ingredient does
- Sugar
- Dissolves into the water to create a sweet, pourable syrup.
- Boiling water
- Hot water dissolves the sugar quickly and fully, keeping the syrup smooth.
The step that matters
Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Undissolved sugar granules settle at the bottom and leave the syrup grainy and unevenly sweet. Stirring until no crystals remain gives a uniform solution.
