Add the sugar and water to a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, whisking occasionally, or until the sugar has dissolved.
Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature before using. You should end up with roughly 1 ½ cups of simple syrup.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container or jar for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2-4 weeks.
