Notes
If you are making this for a crowd, it would be easier to use a simple syrup instead of sugar. Just cook equal parts water and sugar in a saucepan and cook this <g class="gr_ gr_92 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace" id="92" data-gr-id="92">till</g> the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid would be completely clear. Replace the sugar used in the recipe, with a couple tablespoons of this simple syrup.
