Description

Make your own homemade brown sugar simple syrup to use in coffee, tea, and cocktails! This syrup is a stunner that’s incredibly easy to make and will make your coffee drinks at home taste barista-level! Brown sugar syrup has a more complex flavor than standard simple syrup with notes of caramel, toffee, and coffee flavors.

Brown sugar syrup can also be used for cocktails in place of standard simple syrup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar (light or golden brown sugar works also)
  • 1 cup water
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  2. Simmer for 5 minutes then remove from heat and let cool. (For a thicker syrup, simmer 10-15 minutes)
  3. Pour into a container to store and keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Notes

*For thicker brown sugar syrup, simmer for 15-20 minutes. Note that when you reduce and thicken the syrup the final yield will be lower, closer to 1/2 cup.

*This will keep in the freezer for up tp 3 months!
