Add every ingredient to a small saucepan, then stir until everything is well combined. Heat over medium until it reaches a boil, and keep going until the sugar fully dissolves and the liquid turns syrupy. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes, or a bit more depending on how thick you want it—although the syrup thickens even more as it cools.
