To make a rich simple syrup: combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium. Bring to a simmer and cook until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using. 
Store simple syrup in a glass container with a tight fitting lid in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
