2 fluid ounces apple cider

How To Make

Notes

Simple syrup consists of equal amounts of white sugar and water. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened. Cool before using. As an alternative to simple syrup you can try substituting with 1 teaspoon of maple syrup to give another depth of flavor pairing with apples.
