Notes
How to Store Flavored Simple Syrups
If you’re wondering how long simple syrup lasts, the answer is roughly 2-4 weeks in the fridge!
Because of their high level of sugar, most simple syrups will last in the fridge for at least a month. Please note that “rich” simple syrups made with double the sugar will last for even longer. Any syrups that have solids left in them (e.g. fruit purées) should be used within 2-3 weeks.
