Chef’s Secret

A rich simple syrup (2 parts sugar to 1 part water) will have better mouthfeel and preservative qualities than a 1:1 syrup.

Substitutions

Best Match

Simple Syrup (2:1 sugar to water)

1:1

Most direct and versatile substitute for general sweetness and viscosity.

Agave Nectar

0.75:1

Sweeter than sugar, thinner texture, good for cold applications, lower glycemic index.

Honey

1:1

Adds distinct floral/caramel notes and similar viscosity; not vegan.

Maple Syrup

1:1

Different flavor profile (woody, caramel), similar sweetness and viscosity.

Buying Guide
