 How can I make simple syrup and preserve it?

 Water  Sugar  Citric Acid (optional)  Sodium Benzoate (optional)  Makes
 2 Quarts  5 lbs  1/4 oz.  1 oz.  1 Gallon
 3 Gallons  25 lbs  1 1/4 oz.  5 oz.  5 Gallons
 6 Gallons  50 lbs  2 1/2 oz.  10 oz.  10 Gallons

 Note: Cold, warm or hot water may be used. Stir until sugar is dissolved (cold water requires longer stirring time).
 Without preservatives simple syrup has a shelf life of about 7 to 14 days. Adding citric acid and sodium benzoate
 to your syrup extends the shelf life to about six months. (stir in the citric acid and sodium benzoate separately)
  

1. Add ¼ ounce of citric acid for every gallon of simple syrup in the mixing container and stir thoroughly.
2. Add 1 ounce of sodium benzoate
 for every gallon of simple syrup in the mixing container and stir thoroughly.

 Important: Add the citric acid and the sodium benzoate separately in order to avoid crystallization.
