Simple syrup is equal parts water and sugar, usually 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to make 1 1/2 cups syrup.
In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil; simmer until the sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
For this recipe you will use 1/3 cup water, and 1/3 cups sugar.
