I wonder if this even qualifies as a “recipe” because it’s so elementary. All you’re going to need is granulated sugar and water.

Simple syrup is a staple ingredient in a LOT of mocktail recipes and is just like the name says… simple.

Simple Syrup Ratio

The ratio for sugar to water is 1:1. To figure out how much you’re going to yield after the sugar dissolves in the water, simply multiply the measurement number used for the sugar (or water) by 1.5.

For example, if you make simple syrup using 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water, 1 x 1.5 = 1.5 cups of simple syrup. This is an approximation but a good way to determine about how much you’re going to yield.

Be sure to make extra while you’re at it because it keeps for up to a month when stored in a well-sealed jar (or airtight container) in the fridge.

Cheers!
