Instructions
Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan. Add sugar, if using.
Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer 12–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the mixture reduces by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool; it will thicken as it cools. Remove it from the heat and let it cool completely before transferring it to a jar or squeeze bottle for easy drizzling.
