- Store in the fridge for at least a month. Your leftover syrup will last well and can be reused in multiple batches of cold drinks, cocktails, and desserts.

Notes
Tips:
• For honey syrup or maple syrup versions, replace sugar with honey or maple syrup in equal parts with water.
• Cold water can be used to dissolve sugar slowly for small amounts of syrup, but medium-high heat is the fastest way.
• Use a bottle of simple syrup to easily drizzle over fruit salad, ice cream, or mix into fruit juice cocktails.
