Simple Syrup

Makes 2 cups

 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (the syrup tastes best made with organic evaporated cane juice)
1 1/2  cups water
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water and lime juice.  Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar granules.  Remove from the heat, cool and store in a closed container, preferably in the refrigerator for optimal freshness. 

This syrup will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.
