How to Make Sugar Syrup

Ingredients:

• Sugar
• Water
• 1/4 cup milk

Method:

• Following are the steps shown to make sugar syrup in the right way.
• Take sugar and water in the ratio of 2 : 1 1/2 unless other wise mentioned.
• Put both in a deep saucepan to boil, stirring occasionally.
• When the mixture comes to a boil, add 1/4 cup milk.
• When a thick scum is formed on the surface of syrup, it is time to strain.
• Always use a metal strainer or moist cloth to strain the hot syrup, never plastic.
• Put back to boil, checking the consistency required as above.
• Check frequently, because once the first thread forms, it proceeds to thicken to the next stages very quickly.
