How to Make Simple Syrup (and Starbucks Liquid Cane Sugar)

EQUIPMENT

• Glass bottle or jar
• Measuring cup

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup warm water

TIP

If you want to make the Liquid Cane Sugar used at Starbucks you just slightly alter the ingredients.  It is still a 1:1 ratio.  Use these instead:

• 3/4 cup turbinado cane sugar
• 1/4 cup white cane sugar (it's just standard sugar)
• 1 cup water (filtered is better but not required)

With the Starbucks sugar you could also do it a bit more involved to kick it up a notch BUT again; not required.

1. Combine both sugars and water in a saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
2. Stir continuously until both sugars have completely dissolved.
3. Once liquid cane sugar reaches boil, reduce heat. Simmer syrup for about 5 minutes to reduce.
4. Remove from heat and let cool and thicken some more. Store in a bottle in the refrigerator.
