Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp butter extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Combine Sugars and Water: In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup packed brown sugar. Whisk the mixture together thoroughly.
- Simmer Syrup: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugars completely and create a smooth syrup.
- Add Extracts: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon butter extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract until fully incorporated.
- Cool and Store: Allow the syrup to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Once cooled, transfer the syrup to a jar or syrup bottle. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Adjust the amount of extracts to taste for a more intense flavor.
- This syrup can be used to flavor coffee, tea, cocktails, or desserts.
- Make sure to simmer gently to avoid burning the sugars.
