How to make sugar syrup (liquid sugar)

Granulated sugar just won't dissolve properly in iced tea or iced coffee. To solve this problem of sugar that clumps in the bottom of the glass, you can easily make sugar syrup, or liquid sugar, from just two ingredients: sugar and water.

Can anyone tell me if this method will work with Erythritol (sugar alcohol crystals) instead of sugar?

[Muffin2it]

@MidwestEDM From what I have read, Erythritol is difficult to make into a syrup, and even if you succeed, it has a gritty quality to it because as soon as it starts cooling it starts to crystallize. From what I have seen on pages discussing Erythritol, no matter how you try to liquify it, it gets gritty fast. Hershey's has produced an Erythritol-based chocolate syrup, but I'm sure it was a much more complicated process than just boiling Erythritol with water.

Can you tell me if once the liquid sugar has been made what is the ratio, what l mean is l tablespoon of liquid sugar equivilant to one tablespoon of granulated sugar

[Muffin2it]

@sjl1504 It's close, in my opinion, but you need a little more of the syrup than you do by dry weight. That's just my opinion based on sweetening iced tea with it. I'm sorry--that's not very exact. But I use "a little more than a tablespoon" to equal a tablespoon of dry sugar.
