This is a little handy-dandy thing to make in advance. You can use simple syrup for a varieties of things. From sweetening cold drinks (iced tea for instance). Some recipes also call for it. It’s a super simple and quick time and money saver.
Simple syrup is just water and sugar. It doesn’t make caramel because the concentration in sugar is much less than it calls for in caramel. I use 1 part sugar and 1 1/2 part water. Now for the hard directions 
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil. Boil for about 5 minutes.
- Let it cool off and bottle up for later use
There you have it folks! Enjoy
