2-Ingredient Orange Simple Syrup
Orange simple syrup is made with just 2 ingredients and you’ll have a delicious, versatile, delicious orange syrup for non-alcoholic drinks, cocktails, and more!
Ingredients
- organic orange peel from 1 navel orange white pith removed
- ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- ½ cup water
- ⅔ cup organic cane sugar
Instructions
- Remove peel. Scrub and dry the oranges, then use a vegetable peeler to remove thin strips of peel. Set aside.
- Juice oranges. Cut the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice. Pulp is fine because you’ll strain the syrup later.
- Dissolve sugar. Combine freshly squeezed orange juice, water, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Add in the orange peels and reduce to medium-low heat.
- Simmer and strain. Cook for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and run the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the peels and pulp. Let cool completely before putting the lid on and storing.
