- Measuring Spoons
- Fine-mesh strainer

Ingredients
Brown Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar light or dark
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly while remaining smooth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
- Cool until warm. The syrup should appear glossy and lightly coat the back of a spoon.
- Transfer carefully into a clean glass bottle using a funnel. Refrigerate completely before serving.
- Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to coffee, espresso, lattes, iced drinks, tea, milk, or desserts and stir well.
Notes
Reduce simmering time for a thinner syrup or simmer one extra minute for a richer consistency without becoming overly thick. Chill completely before making iced beverages. Stir gently when assembling layered drinks. Customize with cinnamon, maple extract, or vanilla bean. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one month and shake before each use.
