Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. four cups of sugar ten minutes
  2. four cups of water

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. All drinks are better if made with sugar syrup in place of dry sugar.
  2. The syrup makes a smoother drink while the dry sugar, unless thoroughly mixed will settle in the bottom of the glasses and all its sweetness will be lost.
  3. To make the sugar syrup boil four cups of water and four cups of sugar ten minutes.
  4. Strain into hot jars, seal and store in a cool, dry, dark place.
