Notes
Do not replace pure maple syrup with maple-flavored syrup. These are not the same ingredients and will result in a different final product.
You only want to cook the simple syrup until the sugar is just dissolved. The mixture will become cloudy and foamy if you cook the simple syrup for too long.
