Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) water

1. In Epicure’s Multi-Purpose Pot, stir water with sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer until sugar has dissolved, 5 to 8 minutes.
2. Remove from heat and stir in Agua Fresca. Let stand 10 minutes, then strain. (Tip: keep a few hydrated flowers for garnish.) Cool syrup completely before using. It will keep well, refrigerated, at least 1 month.
