Sugar syrups for cocktails | Simple syrup recipe of all time

Lots of people ask me what that liquid is that I put on my sponge cakes. Sugar syrup! This is an equal measurement of water and sugar with a little touch of flavor. This trick is an absolute life saver in cake decorating. SIMPLE SYRUP (1:1) Simple syrup doesn't take long to make, even on the stove top. If you are in a mad rush to get sipping on a daiquiri, you can simply combine sugar and water in a bottle and shake. It will take a little bit of shaking but the sugar will incorporate and if you use hot water, it will work even quicker. The advantage of creating a simple syrup this way is the fact that it saves a little time and you don't need a stove top. Not only does this simple syrup add moisture to the cake itself, but it also enhances the flavor too #ClaudettesKitchen ------------------------- Recipe Below ------------------------- Subscribe on YouTube: /channel/UCToRJlZEleBpAES3e7GwA4g Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Claudettes-Kitchen-109357004207229 Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/claudettes_kytchen/ If you like my work, please stay connected by subscribing to my channel and turn on the notification bell!

Also referred to as "sugar syrup," simple syrup is a liquefied form of sugar that is commonly used to sweeten cocktails, iced tea, iced coffee, lemonade, and other cold drinks. Because it is a liquid sweetener, it is much easier to blend into cold beverages than regular sugar. Should you use simple syrup on cake? Now for the “why” of simple syrup: Simply put it keeps the cake moist throughout every stage of assembly and decoration. Not only does it help keep your cake moist, but it also helps to add sweet flavor which is always good! Creates 250mL of Simple Syrup: - 150g Water - 150g White Sugar Bring to the boil for the sugar to dissolve. RASPBERRY SYRUP Raspberries are a soft fruit so it isn't necessary to heat them on a stove top (unless you would like to increase the shelf life of your syrup). Simply add one punnet of raspberries to your simple syrup, muddle, steep and strain. Creates 250mL of Raspberry Syrup: - 250mL Simple Syrup (1:1) - 125g Raspberries (1 x punnet) Combine the two ingredients and muddle the raspberries. Leave in the fridge overnight before straining out the raspberries, leaving a bright and rich tasting syrup. MINT SYRUP Mint, like other soft herbs, are best incorporated by steeping within a 1:1 simple syrup. The steeping time will vary dependent on the temperature of the syrup and how much mint you use. We recommend steeping it for at least a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Creates 250mL of Mint Syrup: - 250mL Simple Syrup (1:1) - 20+ Mint Leaves Combine the two ingredients. Steep overnight before straining out the mint. GINGER SYRUP Ginger syrup is a great way to incorporate some spice and aromatics into a drink. This syrup takes a little more time then the ones listed above but is still relatively easy to make. If you have a juicer then you are all set as you can simply extract the juice, add sugar and heat it on the stove. As per the video, we ran through using a blender. Creates 250mL+ of Ginger Syrup: - 250mL Simple Syrup - 100g Fresh Ginger Blend the ginger (add a little water or simple syrup to help break it down). Combine the simple syrup and blended ginger to the stove top. Bring to the boil. HONEY SYRUP (3:1) Ever tried adding honey to a cocktail? It does work out too well. As the honey hits the ice or cold liquid, it hardens and doesn't incorporate within the drink. The solution? A little dilution prior to mixing. Creates 200mL of Honey Syrup: 150mL Honey 50mL Warm Water Combine honey and warm water. Stir to combine.
