Two things that also help when making syrups: a soak period( i do overnight) helps break down the sugar easier and the end result is less settling on the bottom, also is good when adding other flavors to the sugar, and do not stir the mix after the first minute of boil.
i make a spicy ginger syrup that i use in a drink i call the hawaiian ginger twist, and the filtered out leftovers can be made into a wonderful treat.
