Description
Demerara Syrup is a versatile and flavorful sweetener that adds a rich, caramel-like taste to your favorite beverages and culinary creations. This homemade syrup is easy to prepare and can elevate the taste of cocktails, desserts, and more.
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the Demerara sugar and water.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely.
- Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a clean, airtight container or bottle for storage.
Notes
- Stir the mixture gently while dissolving the sugar to avoid creating bubbles or splashing.
- Be careful when working with hot syrup to prevent burns. Allow it to cool completely before handling or transferring to a container.
- Adjust the consistency of the syrup by adding more or less water according to your preference. A 1:1 ratio of sugar to water results in a medium consistency syrup.
