Simple syrup is pretty simple, but there are variations that have specific applications. For example, 2:1 simple syrup works better with bartenders and cocktails, but cooks find 1:1 better. I think making a simple syrup where 1 teaspoon of syrup equals 1 teaspoon of sugar is a good method because then you know how much sugar is going into your recipe. This recipe makes it much easier to calculate calories for those wishing to know as well as for food labelling reasons.

Hi Darcy, can you explain what you mean when you say a 4:3 syrup is easier to measure the sugar content? My understanding is that this is true of a 2:1 syrup. We know that sugar dissolves to roughly half its dry volume; e.g. 1 part sugar dissolved in 1 part water yields ~1.5 parts syrup; 1 part of this syrup by volume contains ⅔ part dry sugar. So, a Tbsp of 1:1 syrup contains about 2 tsp sugar. In a 2:1 syrup, 2 parts crystal sugar dissolved in 1 part water yields 2 parts syrup, and 1 part of this syrup contains 1 part crystal sugar. So, 1 Tbsp of 2:1 simple contains 1 Tbsp of sugar. In a 4:3 syrup, 4 parts sugar in 3 parts water yields 5 parts syrup, and 1 part contains 4/5 part dry sugar. So, 1 Tbsp of 4:3 syrup is 4/5 (0.8) of a Tbsp of sugar. Let me know if I'm missing something-perhaps this is a volume/mass confusion? As an American home cook and bartender I'm accustomed to measuring dry ingredients by volume, and knowing that a 2:1 syrup has the same density of sugar as dry sugar can be very useful. I don't know much about nutritionists and how they measure sugar but it would make sense if they did it by grams instead of of volume. But I'd love to know how that ties in with 4:3 syrup :) (FWIW I typically make my simple syrup 3:2 as I think it strikes a nice balance between basic and rich simples.) Thanks for all your work. Cheers

@yvescosentino 2 года назад

Hi, Darcy. I love your work and those videos are incredibly valuable. I am not sure though about your confidence in 1:1 syrup having enough sugar saturation to prevent microbial growth. To my knowledge, syrups need to be at least at the sucrose saturation level of 66-67 Brix (so 2:1 syrup) to be shelf stable at ambient temperature. Which is why commercial bottled syrups tend to be at that level or even a little over it (with partial sugar inversion).

@Artofdrink 2 года назад

Thanks Yves, glad you enjoy the content. As for sugar syrup, 1:1 actually makes a syrup with 66% total dissolved solids and it is because of the volume change when you mix sugar and water together. If you mix 1000 grams of sugar with 1000 ml of water you will get roughly 1500 ml of simple syrup, but the density goes up. If you divide 1000 grams of sugar by the total volume (1500 ml) that gives you 66.67% of the volume is sugar (it's also 66% water, but solutions don't act like pure liquids). Total dissolved solids has to take into account the final volume of the syrup, not just the sum of the two components. New distillers often get surprised when they proof down their alcohol with water and find they get less product then they expected.

@mattjanzen2344 2 года назад

@@Artofdrink My understanding was always that Brix is a measure of the mass of dissolved solids expressed as a percentage of the solution's total mass, not total volume, no? I'm also curious how you calculated that 4:3 sugar to water yields a solution that is volumetrically equivalent to granulated sugar. I'm using densities of approximately 881g/L (208g/cup) dry and 1586g/L dissolved (per online sources for crystalline sucrose and assuming it translates to "how much volume sugar takes up if it fills a space like a liquid", which could be wrong but corresponds to approximately 1500ml for 1000g of sugar dissolved in 1000g of water as noted above). If we aim for a final volume of 1L, we have to dissolve 881g of sugar into some amount of water. 881g, dissolved, would account for about 555ml (881/1.586) of the final volume, leaving 445ml (445g) for water. 881/445 is basically 2:1. I trust that you're correct, but I've been looking at the math for a while and can't see where I went wrong. Any insight would be appreciated.

@Artofdrink 2 года назад

@@mattjanzen2344 I don't use Brix much, a moving scale is a bit of a pain, so I always deal with % or g/L and 1:1 simple syrup is 66.6% solids. Now, 4:3 works like a standard dilution in chemistry: 1. Take a 1000 ml (1L) bottle and add 800 grams of sugar 2. Top up to the 1000 ml mark with water (roughly 500 to 600 ml and (1 ml = 1 gram )) 3. That's roughly 4 parts (800 grams) sugar to 3 parts (600 grams) water Regardless of how much water you add, 1 teaspoon of simple syrup is 5 ml but in sugar terms, one teaspoon of sugar equals 4 grams. In 1000 ml you have 200 volumetric teaspoons (1000 ml divide by 5 ml). Next, divide 800 grams of sugar by 200 and you get 4 grams, therefore 5 ml of the simple syrup has 4 grams of sugar.

@mattjanzen2344 2 года назад

@@Artofdrink Gotcha. I agree that g/L is easier to deal with. And that 66.6% solids is the important thing for microbial growth I take it. This method is a lot easier to handle/visualize than what I was doing. Thank you!

Do you suggest weighing the ingredients for simple syrup? Thank You.

@wolf29gaming 2 года назад

I enjoy your videos they are very helpful. I am buying your book, do you have a preferred vendor? Also, if you were making a simple syrup for soda but wanted to avoid sugar how would you go about it. Obviously one could just sweeten water to taste but will that differ too much from regular simple syrup from a chemistry standpoint? There are plenty of videos about faking it with some combination of stevia, monkfruit, erythritol and xanthum gum but I was wondering if you have a particular method.

@Artofdrink 2 года назад

I will probably do a video on this in the future, there are a lot of low and no-calorie sweeteners but they tend to be used in small amounts, so don't really make syrup but a sweetened water solution. When I do use a low cal sweetener I tend to use Allulose, which is close in flavour to real sugar and used in about the same amounts, so you can actually make a syrup, without the excess calories.

@wolf29gaming 2 года назад

@@Artofdrink Thank you sir. I will check out Allulose and I look forward to more videos.

@ivanferrighetto8337 Год назад

As long as I knew, the % of sugar for it to be enough to prevent bacteria is 62%. Which is more than a simple Sirup. Am I wrong?

@ivanferrighetto8337 Год назад

Which should be around the USP syrup ratio you mentioned (?)

@johnolmos8670 14 дней назад

Marrying 2 batches of Simple syrups will hasten the spoilage in them yes? Working at a bar they tell us to use a bottle until empty before refilling it for this reason.

@Artofdrink 14 дней назад

Mixing is bad; any bacteria/yeast/mould that has grown in the old batch will innoculate the clean batch and hasten its spoilage. Start clean every time, it takes no effort.

So if I add some vanilla extract to the 1:1 mix will that affect it's shelf life? I wanna use it for a milkshake I found on your website long before I found this channel or even your book "Fix the Pumps" and I've tried the old fashioned milk shake there with chocolate syrup and it turned out great. One day I might have to try the mentioned pineapple and vanilla syrup mixture that apparently was really popular in the 1880s and 1890s.

@Artofdrink Год назад

It shouldn't effect the shelf-life, it will be about the same as normal 1:1 syrup. Because vanilla extract has 35% alcohol, it won't make things more hospitable for pathogens, but it won't work as a preservative either (alcohol level too low in the final syrup). And thanks for being a fan of Art of Drink and Fix the Pumps. Pineapple and vanilla is great, and you can build a lot of great flavours off of it, like a touch of lime.
