Coffee Syrup

Rich, velvety, and utterly delicious, homemade coffee syrup is a game-changer for coffee lovers. This easy-to-make syrup is perfect for elevating your morning coffee, crafting unique cocktails, or simply adding a flavor boost to your favorite desserts.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar.

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the brewed coffee and vanilla extract.

Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass bottle.

Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

To use, stir 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup into 8 ounces of milk or cream for a delicious coffee flavor.

Notes

You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar for a richer flavor. Adjust the amount of brewed coffee to your taste – if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use more! For a creamier syrup, add 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half to the mixture before simmering.

Experiment with different flavor combinations by adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the syrup while it’s simmering.

You can also use this syrup as a topping for ice cream or pancakes – yum!
