Simple Syrup! Sweeten your summer beverages like a pro!

Do you want to sweeten your strawberries or peaches?  How about sweetening that cold glass of iced tea?
Simple Syrup is easy to make and will make you look like a professional chef!

Simple Syrup

Boil 2 cups of water  Add two cups of sugar slowly to the boiling water.  Mix this until all the sugar is dissolved.  Take the pot off the heat and cool your simple syrup.  Pour this into a small pitcher.  This syrup can be used to sweeten fruits for desserts or sweeten your favorite beverage.  Imagine a cold mojito with your own simple syrup as a secret ingredient!

I love to sweeten iced tea or make lemonade from scratch.
Here's something I love to do...
Cut a lemon in half, squeeze the juice into glass with ice.  Add water.  Now, sweeten up the mix by adding your syrup.  Shake the glass like a martini and make sure to put the pressed lemon half right in the glass.  MMMM!  It's like Bob's Old Fashioned Lemonade.

Enjoy Summer!

Family Blessings,
