Place the sugar and corn syrup (optional) into a saucepan, then pour the water on top. Without mixing the sugar, cook over medium-high heat until the mixture starts bubbling. Do not bring to a boil.
As soon as the liquid starts bubbling, reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
Simmer for 7-10 minutes until the syrup starts thickening up.
Remove from heat at use immediately for bubble tea.
For longer storage, pour into an airtight bottle and let it cool down completely without a lid on. Once cool, seal with lid and refrigerate for 2-3 weeks.
