Pour the sugar and water into a sauce pan and stir.

Bring the sugar and water to a simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves. This should take no more than 5 minutes.

Stir gently until the syrup is smooth.

Allow the syrup to cool completely before using. Store it inside a clean airtight container (preferably glass) for up to a week room temperature, or up to a month in the refrigerator.
