Honey is another good simple syrup substitute.<\/li>\n<p>Jan 19, 2019<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the difference between sugar syrup and simple syrup?<\/h2>\n<p>Simple Syrup, also known as sugar syrup (and sometimes sugary syrup) is a syrup made from <b>dissolving white granulated sugar into an equal amount of water. Yep, that&#8217;s all!  Simple Syrup is (by far) the most common sweetener used by bartenders for cocktails.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_called_simple_syrup\"><\/span>Why is it called simple syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>(n.) There&#8217;s a reason why this syrup is called simple. <b>It&#8217;s a basic combination of sugar and water.  The syrup can be made by simply dissolving superfine sugar into water, or the mixture can be heated in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_simple_syrup_and_triple_sec_the_same_thing\"><\/span>Is simple syrup and triple sec the same thing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is the difference between triple sec and simple syrup?  However, since simple syrup (unlike Triple Sec) <b>doesn&#8217;t contain any alcohol, you&#8217;ll want to up your recipe to include: three ounces of tequila. an ounce of simple syrup.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_syrup_turn_to_alcohol\"><\/span>Can syrup turn to alcohol?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The answer is <b>yes. Maple syrup can be fermented to make traditional ales and a unique alcohol called acerglyn. In fact, maple syrup producers actually used to take the last saps of the season, which were darker and less appealing, and ferment them for enjoyment over the winter.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_simple_syrup_ferment\"><\/span>Will simple syrup ferment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Water quality: Since syrup is usually mainly made up of water, its quality will affect the end product, so make sure you use filtered water.  However, <b>all syrups are prone to fermentation under certain conditions, so make sure you keep them in the fridge and use within few days (1:1 syrups) to a week (2:1 syrups).<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_for_simple_syrup_to_ferment\"><\/span>How long does it take for simple syrup to ferment?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Culture at room temperature (60-70xb0F is preferred) until desired flavor and texture are achieved, <b>about 48-72 hours. If using a tight lid, burp daily to release excess pressure. After fermentation, stir in the maple syrup.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_keep_simple_syrup_from_fermenting\"><\/span>How do you keep simple syrup from fermenting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Campden tablet kills bacteria and is used to sterilize wine\/beer to stop further fermentation. Citric acid\/vinegar\/an acidic environment (low pH) help preserve syrups. <b>Bring it to 186 degrees for 6 seconds, or bring it to 140 degrees for 10 minutes.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_turn_sugar_into_alcohol\"><\/span>Can you turn sugar into alcohol?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Alcoholic fermentation, also referred to as ethanol fermentation, is a biological process by which sugar is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Yeasts are responsible for this process, and oxygen is not necessary, which means that alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic process.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_alcohol_do_you_add_to_syrup\"><\/span>How much alcohol do you add to syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Alcohol can help preserve the mixture and extend its shelf life. Add a neutral spirit, like vodka, to bring your syrup&#8217;s alcohol-by-volume <b>(abv) up to about 15% to create a syrup that will last at least a few months. This equates to 5 fluid ounces, or a little more than  cup of alcohol, for one quart of syrup.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_vodka_do_I_add_to_simple_syrup\"><\/span>How much vodka do I add to simple syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Add <b>1 Tbsp (14.8 mL) of vodka to hot-process syrup to extend its life. Mix 1 tablespoon (14.8 mL) of vodka into your syrup before storing it in the fridge. It makes 1:1 refrigerated hot-process syrup last 3 months, and extends 2:1 refrigerated hot-process syrup past 6 months.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_add_vodka_to_my_simple_syrup\"><\/span>Should I add vodka to my simple syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Storing syrup in the refrigerator will extend its life to weeks or months, but I like to <b>add an ounce of vodka. This will preserve the syrup almost indefinitely. Stir sugar and water in a sauce pot over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the liquid turns clear.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_stabilize_simple_syrup\"><\/span>How do you stabilize simple syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to stabilize sugar syrup is to <b>add a little bit of vodka or other neutral spirit. Depending on the size of your batch, adding between a teaspoon and an ounce should inhibit growth of anything undesirable. Yet another is to make rich simple syrup by using a 2:1 ratio of sugar to water.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_use_instead_of_sugar_syrup\"><\/span>What can I use instead of sugar syrup?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Best simple syrup substitute<\/b><\/p>\n<li>Maple syrup.
