[Actually, they are not the same. Sugar and water mixed cold is sugar water and has a sweetness index equal to sugar.

Sugar and water shaken cold (or cooked and stirred) (1:1) is called "simple syrup" by mixologists. That's where I am coming from. Who calls it "sugar water?" And what's the difference?

I read your linked article and did not see any connection to this discussion.

What am I missing?
