Better Than Storebought Maple Simple Syrup

If you’re unfamiliar, basic simple syrup is a type of liquid sweetener made with sugar and water. You can find a wide variety of flavors, which use different types of sugar to create unique tastes. 

For instance, for this maple syrup simple syrup, the sugar comes naturally from maple syrup. As a result, the flavor has a distinct molasses-like taste that makes it perfect for fall and holidays! 

Plus, unlike store-bought options, you won’t find any unnecessary additives, sweeteners, or preservatives. Natural ingredients are all you need! I always have a batch on hand for myself and love to give it away as gifts, too. 

You’ll never go back to store-bought options again!
