I've always done 1:1 sugar syrup with a cold shake and made 2:1 rich syrup with a boil. Have never added grain alcohol to them and never had a sugar syrup spoil on me. Is the suggestion of doing cold process sugar in the falernum for the sake of preservation or flavor? Also, I tried your blender method one time and all it did was make my sugar solution cloudy and it never fully dissolved or settled. Maybe I didn't do it long enough. What sort of blender do you use? I tried in a small Ninja.
