Behind the bar I prefer syrup because it’s easier and faster to pour. At home though I’ve noticed it’s easier to just put the amount of sugar into the tin rather than batch a bunch of syrup. All of it dissolves in the tin and its not having a noticeable effect on taste.
Nice that’s a good find. I’ll keep an eye out for any bottles I can reuse. Honestly I’m just kinda lazy and didn’t want to turn the stove on. Gave this a shot and it works for me.
Microwave, mate!
1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, stir it up in a 2-cup measure, nuke it till it bubbles.
Or 1/4 cup each. However much you need. I make 6 oz at a time (the size of the bottle I have).
You can alsu use an old style ketchup squeeze bottle from the dollar store. Just make sure the syrup us cool before putting it in!
That’s a good shout. Usually I do 2-1 syrup. Maybe a kettle would work well?
Microwave works but be careful and give the container a tap or two before removing it. I’ve had microwave simple syrup look fine in the microwave but explode into a boiling mess when touched.
