Notes
If you don't have any agave syrup, make a quick simple syrup. To make simple syrup, take equal amounts of water and sugar - 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup granulated sugar - bring them to a boil in a saucepan and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to dissolve all the sugar. Let cool and use. Extra simple syrup can be put in a sealed container and kept in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
