Notes
Homemade Simple Syrup
Making your own simple syrup is easy, it just needs to be made ahead of time. It's a 1:1 recipe, for the Rossini I made a syrup of ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup water. Add both to a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Do not let this boil. Pour it into a heat-safe container and cool it off in the fridge then add to the blender when you make the rossini.Nutrition
