Just like all simple syrups, this is easy to make.  And the small amount of effort is worth the reward of having the best handcrafted cocktails, kid drinks and other homemade treats.

As always, I believe using real sugar is much better than buying a commercial mix that has corn syrups and preservatives.

I like using it in my Mistletoe Mojito.  Enjoy!
