Notes

Extra fine sugar will dissolve faster than regular sugar. Alternatively, you can make simple syrup and add this instead of sugar. To make simple syrup, add equal parts sugar and water to a small container. Heat and stir to dissolve. I make this in small quantities if just for me, but it can also be made in larger quantities (1 cup sugar plus 1 cup water) to keep in the refrigerator. For weeks, if you want!
Use simple syrup as a direct substitute. 1 teaspoon sugar = 1 teaspoon simple syrup.
For calculations, 1 part = 1.5 ounces.
