1 cup white or super fine sugar
1 cup water
Demerara Simple Syrup
1 cup Demerara or Turbinado Sugar*
1 cup water
Add ingredients to a pot on medium heat. Stir contents until the sugar is dissolved. Take off heat and let cool. Bottle in an air tight container for up to 10 to 14 days.
2:1 Sugar to Water Simple Syrup - richer flavor, deeper flavor
2 cups sugar
1 part water.
Follow instructions above.
Makes roughly 8 ounces.
*Notes: Demerara sugar (can be referred to as Turbinado too) isn't brown sugar, which is basically just refined white sugar covered in molasses. Demerara comes from Guyana and has a natural caramel and baking spice flavor which adds more complexity and depth than refined white sugar.
