Prepare the Simple Syrup
Start by making the brown sugar simple syrup. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts brown sugar and water (1:1 ratio). Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool before using. You can store any extra syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
