How to Make the Best Brandy Alexander Recipe

Next, add simple syrup. Simple syrup simply means sugar dissolved with water. Let's melt 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stir the mixture until it dissolves completely, which takes about 5 minutes. To cover the sugar, add 2 inches of cold tap water. Allow to sit for at least two hours. Strain the sugar crystals using cheesecloth. Discard them. Store the remaining liquid in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
