To make turbinado syrup

• Combine 2 cups turbinado sugar (Huerta uses the Sugar in the Raw brand) with 1 cup of water in a saucepan and stir to combine.
• Over medium-high heat, bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and let simmer until sugar is dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened (about 3 minutes).
• Let cool and transfer to a glass container with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
