Hazelnut Free Simple Syrup
Simple syrup is one of those foundational kitchen staples that quietly makes everything better — from cocktails and lemonade to homemade sodas and baked goods. With just two ingredients and a single saucepan, it comes together in minutes and keeps in the fridge for whenever you need a smooth, even sweetness that granulated sugar just can't deliver on its own. For anyone navigating nut allergies, flavored syrups from the store or coffee shop can be a minefield, since many commercial versions are produced in facilities that handle tree nuts or contain added flavorings with murky sourcing. This version is completely clean — nothing but sugar and water, so you know exactly what's in it. The key is keeping the heat gentle and pulling the pan before it boils, which gives you a perfectly clear, silky syrup every time. Make a batch on Sunday and you'll reach for it all week long.
