   • To make your own simple syrup: Mix together 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer -- gently bubbling -- for 10 minutes. Let the syrup cool, after which it may be bottled and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
