First time I made sucrose syrup, I did it by heating water and sugar in a pan as others have described. It worked fine. My current procedure is even easier and less messy, though it's best started the day before.
1. Three-quarters fill a glass bottle with sucrose.
2. Nearly fill with clean water.
3. Shake.
4. Leave it till later. Some of the sugar will dissolve into the water, some will stay solid on the bottom.
5. Shake again. Some of the sugar will still be solid, but the liquid on top should be pretty saturated, and you can pour it off as you want it.
6. When there's not much liquid left, add more water and shake again. Use liquid. Repeat till no solids left.
I use a 1l bottle, and use this to add to OJ and other stuff as I want it. Lasts a few days for me. I sometimes add more sugar, but if I keep the same bottle going for too long the top gets too gummed up.
