What each ingredient does
- Sugar
- Provides sweetness and body, and dissolves into the water to form the syrup.
- Water
- Dissolves the sugar so it forms a pourable liquid syrup.
The step that matters
Dissolve the sugar completely over low heat. Undissolved sugar crystals can recrystallize as the syrup cools, leaving it grainy. Gentle heat and stirring help the sugar fully dissolve before cooling.
