HOMEMADE THICK SUGAR SYRUP

MAKING SUGAR SYRUP AT HOME IS VERY EASY. IT JUST NEEDS A COUPLE OF STEPS AND A FEW NOTES TO HAVE SUCCESSFUL SYRUP THAT LASTS IN YOUR FRIDGE FOR MONTHS..

INGREDIENTS:
3 CUPS OF SUGAR (600 G)
1 CUP OF WATER (250 ML)
QUARTER TSP CITRIC ACID
1 SLICE OF LEMON FOR FLAVOR AND ALSO HELPS THE SUGAR NOT TO CRYSTALLIZE BACK

RECIPE KEY NOTES:
* PUT SUGAR AND WATER IN A POT, TURN ON THE STOVE AND START STIRRING UNTIL SUGAR IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED. ONCE IT STARTS TO BOIL, DO NOT STIR THE SYRUP AND LET IT BOIL AS IN THE RECIPE. AT LAST ADD THE CITRIC ACID, STIR, LET IT BOIL FOR A MINUTE TO MAKE SURE IT IS DISSOLVED PROPERLY AND TAKE OFF THE HEAT.

Normally if you don't want crystalisation you'd need to use a 2:1 ratio of sugar to water, put it in the pan, Don't stir the water and sugar at all because it cayses crystalisation and wait till it is boiling and you see more 'thick' bubbles but not leave it for so long that it starts turning amber, at that point you've reached the "cracking stage" on a candy thermometer and you would have successfully made candy but unsuccessfully made sugar syrup.

I'm guessing the extra cup of sugar is to make it thicker but the normal 2:1 ratio works as well, and when making sugar syrup for things like drinks you need a 1:1 ratio so it can mix with the other liquids easily.

And at this point I realised that I knew all this and still searched sugar syrup recipes up. But this method does seem quite interesting, a little complex yes but interesting nonetheless

Thank you! I did this in the microwave but split the 4 mins to 2 mins each and worked as a charm. A perfect sub for corn syrup!

THIS is the best recipe ever. I'm only using this to moisten the rim of a glass to rim cocktail glasses with salt and sugar. No crystals! I used to skim a thin layer of white foam from the top with a slotted spoon (works great, rinse and repeat), but I didn't get any foam with this recipe. I also used to use vinegar as an anti-crystalizer but used slices of lime and the citric acid exactly as this recipe shows and I got perfectly clear, great texture simple syrup with zero crystalization. =:0)

Thanks! I’m going to try this! Although I plan on adding a bunch of mint leaves 🤞🏻 and sieve it all. Cross fingers I get a yummy minty ice cream syrup!

Thank you now I can make my biscuit chair and table

[HitchHikersBlues]

This looks good. You could add some more lemons and use it as a cordial for some cold sparkling water. A dessert spoonful in a glass or something like that 👍

[Chadnos]

This is the right recipe with 3/4 sugar!

hi betty, i know this is a old video but what if i want to make strawberry syrup with real strawberries-
should i add more sugar to compensate or just follow this recipe?
i want to make a heavy strawberry syrup, with real strawberry's.

[durgeshmn]

Adding citric acid or lemon juice helps in preservation and avoiding crystalization. But won't it add sour taste to the syrup or bring down the sweetness

[syahnaziaadinda]

I tried this recipe and my simple syrup is still crystalized within an hour anyway...

[nadiaimran]

[jaquejaqjaq]

How long can you keep the syrup? Do you just keep them on room temp?

[xyz-rq]

But You should measure sugar and water with same quantity or same volume or with a same measure..?

[waelferrari]
