Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Add the sugar and water to a microwave safe dish. Stir well.
  • Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir again to make sure sugar is dissolved.

Notes

  • Let the simple syrup cool to room temperature before using so it won't melt the ice in your drinks!
  • This is perfect to use to sweeten iced or hot coffee, teas, cocktails or mock-tails!
  • To make a smaller batch, use ¼ cup of sugar and ¼ cup of water.
