Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water

- Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to a squeeze bottle or airtight container for storage.
Tips:
Experiment with different flavors by using various drink mixes or adding natural extracts like vanilla, mint, or almond.
You can adjust the sweetness level by modifying the amount of sugar used in the recipe.
