I often make a simple syrup - In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the 1 cup of water to a simmer. Add 1 cup of sugar and stir until it completely dissolves. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the syrup into a clean 1-pint bottle, cap it and refrigerate until ready to use.

Thank you, Eiko! These were excellent to start a day and felt so pampered all day. Both goes so well with multi-grain granola.
