Simple sugar, sweet, and simple to make yourself. As you all well know, sugar doesn’t disolve well in cold solutions. To sweeten cocktails or ice tea, simple sugar is the easy solution.

Simple sugar is highly saturaged sugar solution. To make this stuff yourself, bring regular white sugar in water to a boil and then simer for three to five minutes. Boiling the sugar solution will break down the sugar molecules so that they are unable to recrystalize; the resulting syrup is far sweeter than the original sugar solution.

Simple Sugar

2 cups sugar
1 cup water

Add the sugar to the water and simmer for three to five minutes. As the solution comes to a boil, it will become transparent. Store this syrup in a cafe-style ketchup or mustard bottle for convenient dispensation. This is an ingredient in the real daiquri.
