Did you know you could make simple syrup with the steam wand of your espresso machine?

It's fast and very easy to do.  I'll show you how to make a 1:1 or 2:1 (sugar-to-water ratio) simple syrup that you can use right away in cocktails, affogatos, and more.

If you're wondering WHY DO THIS?!?!?!

Compared to doing it on a hob:

\- no danger of thick sugar water boiling over

\- no pot to clean afterwards

\- because there is no bottom\-heat source, no risk of burning or caramelizing

\- no need to sit there and stir constantly

\- heats faster than a hob \(for me\)

\- very easy cleanup

\- can make a small quantity, so it doesn't spoil

\- it's fun.

AI summary:

This video demonstrates making simple syrup using an espresso machine's steam wand. Key points include:

Simple syrup dissolves sugar in water for use in drinks.

Two types: one-to-one (equal sugar and water) and two-to-one (more sugar).

The steam wand both heats and stirs, ideal for small batches.

The process avoids boiling and uses a thermometer for precise mixing.

Results in a smooth, clear syrup for cocktails, coffee, or desserts.
