Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- Full 1 cup water
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
Combine all 3 ingredients in a nonreactive 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. All the sugar crystals should completely dissolve. Remove from the heat and pour into a clean medium-size bowl. Let cool completely before using. If you are short on time, you can cool the syrup over an ice bath. Simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator, indefinitely, if kept in an airtight container.

Three yums up! This was great. I was looking for a simple syrup recipe to use for a raspberry lemon drop martini. I made this (my first ever attempt at simple syrup--it was a breeze and it helped make a great cocktail. I'm not a bartender by trade but I could make and drink these all day (and did. Thanks Jacques!!!
