Sugar syrup is a must-have for anyone who loves making cocktails. Confectioners need it, too. When a recipe for a German torte called for sugar syrup I roamed the shops in search of it.

I found it. But I was not willing to pay the price! For disclosure, I love fancy coffee syrups and I do pay a fortune sometimes to get them. But paying the same for a mixture of nothing more than plain sugar and water?! Are you kidding?

It will keep fresh in the refrigerator for about 12 weeks.

8 yummy Ways to use simple sugar syrup

  1. Create refreshing fruity homemade lemonade, cocktails, or fruit punches. Try this beautiful Kiwi Kooler if you need some extra Vitamin C on a hot day.
  2. Use sugar syrup to brush layer cakes. It will keep them moist and tasty. Apply some sugar syrup before icing the cake and it will keep fresh and moist longer. You need sugar syrup to make original German Schwarzwälder (Black Forest Cake), too.
  3. Make a sorbet. A sorbet is traditionally made with sugar syrup and puréed fruits. Try a refreshing and easy to make Pina Colada Sorbet if you like it creamy, too!sugar syrup in sorbet
  4. Use it to make a sweet dressing for fruit salad. It will keep the fruits from turning brown too soon and glaze them appetizingly.
  5. Pour it over Baklava or other sweet Turkish or Middle-Eastern desserts. Use a generous amount and let it soak the whole thing. Serve chilled. (Or drizzle it just on top of a good old pancake…)homemade sugar syrup recipe
  6. Use it to sweeten iced coffee or other cold beverages. No more yucky sugar grains anywhere! Add a stick of cinnamon when boiling the syrup to have a fancy coffee syrup. Try iced espresso by shaking up a cup of espresso with ice cubes and sugar syrup.
  7. This brings me to: Make a super easy and yet impressive gift from the kitchen! Prepare the syrup with a stick of cinnamon, some cloves, and a small piece of ginger. Strain and put it into a nice glass bottle. Voíla! Winter spice coffee syrup.
  8. Pimp your drinks. Want another fancy taste? Make sugar syrup with lime cests (from organic limes). Then, strain the syrup, and you have a fantastic sweetener to infuse plain old water. Drink your water, honey!
