Making simple syrup is just that simple! Add one part Florida Crystals® Organic Raw Cane Sugar to one part water, boil until the sugar dissolves and then cool. That’s it! You’re ready to sweeten anything under the sun in an organic, sustainably grown way that’s deliciously pure.
Once you have your base, you can start to personalize your simple syrup by adding in your favorite fruits and herbs to get your perfect flavor!
Now comes the best part—choosing how to enjoy the simple syrups you’ve created. There’s virtually no end to how they can be used, but a few ideas include:
Snow cones and shaved ice
These syrups are a delicious way to top simple snow cones or the more Hawaiian-inspired “shaved ice.” Whether you are adding a drizzle of blue raspberry, watermelon, blood orange, or a combination of simple syrup flavors, this treat is a delicious way to keep your cool all summer.
Iced tea and cold beverages
Sometimes, it’s hard to get granulated sugar to dissolve in cold drinks. No such problem with these syrups, so you can add sweetness and a kick of flavor with ease. For a simple-syrup sweetened beverage that’s out of this world, try mixing blood orange, lime, and ginger syrup with carbonated water to create Blood Orange and Ginger Italian Soda.
Frozen yogurt or ice cream
Summer calls for desserts with fruity flavor instead of the typical chocolate sauce or caramel, so drizzle on the simple syrups and enjoy. For a delicious dessert pairing that's perfect for the season, try ice cream topped with strawberry syrup, served alongside our Tres Leches Cupcakes with Meringue Frosting.
Waffles and pancakes
Give simple flapjacks and toaster waffles a tasty boost by adding the fruity sweetness of these syrups, possibly with some sliced fruit to match. Cherry-flavored syrup is the perfect topping to add some extra sweetness to our Baghrir Crepes with Brandied Cherry Compote.
