Notes
For a thicker, longer-lasting syrup, use 2 cups of brown sugar to 1 cup of water. This version will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.
To make this in the microwave, combine the sugar and water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until dissolved, about 90 seconds total.
For a no-cook version, use warm tap water and stir by hand until the sugar fully dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes.
