Sugar syrup is the most commonly used ingredient for syruping or sweetening cakes, pies or other desserts. This is because it does not take much time to make, does not require any special attention and care, can be used to syrup a variety of desserts and does not contain many components, which makes it easy to prepare.
In essence, the word "syrup" comes from the French language and means concentrated sugar or a mixture of various carbohydrates in water.
The sugar content of the syrup is usually from 40% to 80%.
It is a clear or slightly yellowish liquid that can acquire a vanilla aroma if you add vanilla powder or vanilla essence when preparing it.
The interesting thing about this type of syrup is that in addition to confectionery it is used in other areas. Among these areas of application are medicine (to improve the taste of various drugs and medicines), in the production of soft drinks, in the manufacture of compotes.
Sugar syrup we can buy from the store or make our own at home. Here's how to prepare it:
Sample products we will need:
1. Water - 3 tsp.
2. Sugar - 2 tsp.
3. Aroma of choice - vanilla, lemon, wine (white or rose), cognac, rum, coffee
Method of preparation:
Pour the sugar and water into a large enough pot. The water-sugar ratio should always be 3: 2. The above proportions are indicative because different recipes require different measures and quantities. Allow the sugar to melt in the water and leave for a while on the hob. Optionally and according to the recipe for the dessert you have decided to make, you can add some of the above products to flavor sugar syrup.
IMPORTANT! When you decide to syrup, remember that it is good to have at least one of the two ingredients cold - either the marsh or the syrup to prevent the marsh from turning into a mush. In the best case, both ingredients should have cooled down to avoid culinary blunders.
