Bring water and sugar to a simmer in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add jasmine pearls and remove from heat. Let steep 10 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and chill until cold, at least 1 hour.
                                         
                                    
                                
                             
                        
                    
                    Cook’s note: Syrup can be chilled up to 1 day before 
making sorbet.
