Cool Hunting

There's nothing new about simple syrup (sugar dissolved in hot water). Nor is there anything new about using it instead of sugar in an iced tea, iced coffee or lemonade (because it is much easier to mix with cold beverages). But this is the first time I've come across it in ready-to-use packets, sitting among the growing assortment of sugar, raw sugar, and their less-appealing chemical substitutes. The brand name of these liquid sweeteners is Dazz-ahh; they offer both a natural cane sugar and an artifically sweetened version.
