Simple Syrup Cold Packs

IMG_20140714_135435

Chill out with our simple syrup cold packs!

No chemicals, and easy to make with only 2 ingredients…plus you can eat it. Always a perk.

These have the same soft and squishy feel as a commercial ice pack – use these over your eyes for a cooling eye mask. They work great for headaches and injuries too.

Bring 1/2 cup of water + 1 cup of sugar just to a boil to dissolve sugar.
This is a concentrated simple syrup.
Cool, then place in a baggie and freeze for at least 4 hours.

If you want to get really fancy, make a double batch and divide in half. Add vanilla bean, cinnamon or citrus peel and you have yourself a flavored coffee or tea syrup 🙂
