NOTES

// simple syrup

add 1 cup cane sugar + 1 cup water to a small pot and bring to simmer on low. once all the sugar has dissolved, let syrup cool for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a bottle. keep in fridge for up to 3 weeks.

// pineapple wedges

best hack! watch me cut a pineapple into sticks
