Peter Edwards said: "Incidentally, I fail to understand why anyone uses hot
water to make syrup.  Quite unnecessary, costly - and the waste of fuel is
not environmentally friendly.  Sugar will dissolve perfectly well in cold
water provided that it is agitated for around 15 minutes."

 

Absolutely right.  I just fill the container with sugar, then fill it with
hot water out of the tap.  Then stir or shake.  If you have a sealable
container, invert for half an hour.  Stir or shake again.  Invert again for
half an hour.  All but a very small amount of sugar will remain undissolved
at this point.  Virtually none if you let it sit overnight.
