Simple syrup is super easy to make, and blends quickly and smoothly into your matcha latte. You can make a batch of simple syrup ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup of sugar of your choice (cane sugar will have a faint molasses note, while granulated sugar is more neutral)
-
1 cup of water
Steps:
-
Pour the water and sugar into a pot and heat at medium on the stove, while stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve. Do not boil.
-
Once sugar is fully dissolved (it takes about 5 minutes), remove from heat and let cool.
-
Once cooled, pour simple syrup into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator up to 3-4 weeks.
