How to Make Smoked Paprika Syrup

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 2 tablespoons smoked paprika in a non-aluminum saucepan.
  2. Gently heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and continue to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup slightly thickens.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean, non-aluminum container.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
