Simple syrup is wonderfully useful (and surprisingly easy to make), shared recipe from Clean + Dirty Drinking by Gaby Mlynarczyk.
Ingredients
Makes about 1 cup
SERVINGS: 1 Cup(s)

- ½ cup hot water (see Note)
Dirty
- 1 cup organic granulated cane, demerara or turbinado sugar
- 1 cup hot water (see Note)
About this recipe
Simple syrup is wonderfully useful (and surprisingly easy to make). Use it for sweetening everything from iced tea and coffee to smoothies and cocktails. Here are my favorite Clean and Dirty versions. Coconut nectar is less processed and, therefore, cleaner. Because it is a thick syrup similar in consistency to runny honey, it also requires less water to dilute for a good working syrup. While it sits on the Dirty list, processed organic cane sugar is a good go-to for a crystal-clear basic simple syrup.
Preparation
In a heatproof pitcher, combine the sugar and hot water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Cool before using. Refrigerate, covered tightly, for up to 1 month.
NOTE: Hot water for these recipes should be from a boiling kettle, but if you have seriously hot water gushing from your faucet, that can work. I do not cook simple syrups on the stove—all you need is piping-hot water to do the job.
The full cookbook is now available for purchase in local bookstores and online.
