You can buy sugar syrup but why when it is so easy? Also, adding infusions just takes it up a notch!  I always keep a squeeze bottle in the fridge, works great for cocktails, lemonade and iced tea (just be careful with the infusions)

Ingredients:

• 2 parts sugar
• 1 part water

Infusions (optional)

• Ginger
• Mint
• Cinnamon
• Chillies

Preparation:

1. put two parts sugar in a pot
2. add one part water (and infusions if wanted)
3. bring to a light boil stirring constantly
4. let cool completely and strain optional infusions if necessary

This will keep for several weeks to a month in the fridge so I use 250ml water and 500g sugar to make my batches
