Frequently Asked Questions

How long does simple syrup last?

Standard 1:1 simple syrup lasts about 1 month in the refrigerator. Rich simple syrup (2:1 ratio) can last up to 6 months.

Can I freeze simple syrup?

Yes, you can freeze it, though the high sugar content may prevent it from freezing completely solid. It is best stored in the fridge.

What is the difference between simple syrup and rich simple syrup?

Simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water. Rich simple syrup is a 2:1 ratio, making it sweeter and more viscous.

How do I know if simple syrup has gone bad?

If the syrup looks cloudy, has visible mold, or develops an off-smell, it has expired and should be thrown away.

What can I use as a substitute for simple syrup?

Agave nectar, honey diluted with a little water, or maple syrup are excellent liquid substitutes.

Why is my simple syrup crystallizing?

This usually happens if the sugar wasn't fully dissolved or if it was boiled too long. Adding a drop of lemon juice or corn syrup can help prevent this.

Is simple syrup vegan?

Yes, simple syrup made from cane sugar or beet sugar is considered vegan, though some strict vegans check if the sugar was processed with bone char.

Can I make simple syrup without heat?

Yes, this is called 'cold process' syrup. Simply shake sugar and water in a jar until dissolved; it takes longer but preserves more delicate sugar flavors.
