Pour water into a pot and pour sugar into the water. Turn the heat to medium and whisk the sugar in. Once the water looks clear again, you have simple syrup. You don't want to boil this mixture!
1 cup water, 1 cup sugar
Allow the simple syrup to cool and place in any container. We reuse old coffee syrup bottles for easier pouring.
Notes
To turn your simple syrup into flavored coffee syrups, once the syrup is removed from heat, drop 3 teaspoons of whatever flavoring you would like and stir in well. We use peppermint during the holidays and vanilla the most.
