Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Combine the dark brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat and cook uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring in the cinnamon if using.
  3. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Pour into a clean glass jar or bottle and leave uncovered until fully cooled to room temperature before sealing.

Notes

Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before you start the simmer, or the syrup may turn grainy as it cools. The syrup keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Each serving is approximately 1 tbsp, which is a standard pump equivalent for most home coffee drinks.
