1 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup(more or less to taste)
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes on low heat, but don't stir, as this can cause the sugar to crystalize.
Pour the mixture into a large measuring cup or a jar and cool in the refrigerator. The consistency will be thin. (simmer longer for a thicker syrup).
Add the maple syrup and stir.
