The makings of a great drink

ok as promised the keys to making great kool-aid and or refreshments.
There is really only 2 yes TWO things that go into making it taste great!

So the first thing: Make a simple syrup.  Basic chemistry here, sugars dissolve completely in high temps. So if your trying to make a nice pitcher of chilled ice tea plan ahead and make the simple syrup the day before. If your anything like me you will love this stuff and always have some handy.

Second thing: The colder the better. Now this needs no explaining, let the drink hang out in the fridge or even freezer for awhile before pouring a glass

Simple Syrup

you can do this on the stove or in the microwave (I prefer the stove)

items needed;
1 small or medium or sauce pot
Sugar ( I use 3 cups, add as much or little)
1 1/2 cups water


Directions:
Turn stove on to medium to high heat.

Bring water to a brisk boil, turn heat to low.

Add sugar, stir constantly and let dissolve

Once the sugar has completely dissolved let cool and prepare to make said drink.
