How to Make Corn Syrup Simple Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir gently and continuously to prevent scorching.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the syrup reaches a desired thickness. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
