Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, cream of tartar, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar has fully dissolved.
Once dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture come to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 8-10 minutes, or until the syrup thickens slightly.
To test the consistency, dip a spoon into the syrup and let it cool slightly. It should coat the back of the spoon but still pour easily.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely. It will thicken more as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight container or jar and store it at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
