  1. Combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.
  2. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is clear.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  4. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 1 minute.
  5. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely before storing. This will prevent crystallization.
