Basic Sugar Syrup

No ratings yet

Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. 4 cups water
  2. 4 cups sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.

Method

  1. Combine sugar and water in a large saucepan, and stir well. Bring sugar mixture to a boil, and cook 1 minute or until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.
  2. Yield: 12-1/2 cups.
