Cashew Free Simple Syrup
Sweet, versatile, and endlessly useful, this two-ingredient syrup is a staple worth keeping in your fridge at all times. It comes together in just a few minutes on the stovetop with nothing but granulated sugar and water — no hidden additives, no mystery ingredients, and absolutely no tree nuts to worry about. Store-bought flavored syrups and cocktail mixers can be surprisingly tricky territory, often processed in facilities that handle a wide range of allergens. Making your own means you know exactly what's in it. Stir it into iced coffee, lemonade, cocktails, or homemade sodas for perfectly balanced sweetness every single time. The gentle stovetop method keeps the sugar from caramelizing, so you get a clean, neutral syrup that lets the flavors of whatever you're mixing shine through. A sealed jar in the refrigerator means you'll always have it ready to go when inspiration strikes.
