Hi Michelle,
There is currently no research-tested recipe to create a safe, shelf-stable simple syrup. You have the option to freeze or refrigerate your product, but simple syrup is a TCS food (meaning it requires time and temperature control for safety); therefore, it is not safe to preserve it in a way that makes it shelf-stable.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to call our food safety hotline at<personal data hidden>.
Best,
