Shaken Simple Syrup
Inspired by techniques from Bon Appétit.
Sugar and water shaken together in a jar make a clear, smooth syrup for sweetening drinks. Dissolving the sugar first lets it mix evenly into cold drinks without leaving gritty crystals at the bottom.
Based on the listed ingredients, none of the 14 major EU allergens. Always check product labels.
