Or use

Brown Sugar Syrup¼ oz7 ml

Brown sugar syrup is packed brown sugar simmered briefly with an equal volume of water.

Our brown sugar syrup is 1:1, so use 1 1/2 tsp (1/4 oz) to match 1 tsp of 2:1.

As printed: Food Republic: brown sugar cubes as an alternative

Or use

Classic Simple Syrup¼ oz7 ml

Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water, heated just until the sugar dissolves.

Same strength as Imbibe's 1:1 syrup; you lose the demerara flavor.
