Recipe 1:1 Sugar
Method
Pour 250g of boiling water, 100g of demerara and 150g of white sugar into a pan.
Add in your festive ingredients, I've gone for 3x star anise, 1x cinnamon stick and 10x cloves.
Simmer on a low heat (NEVER BOIL) for 5 minutes and stir until dissolved.
Take off the heat and leave until cold. Then pour into a sealable bottle or container ready for use.
Once made sugar syrup can last 3-4 weeks comfortably when stored in the fridge.
