Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • funnel
  • Glass Bottle or Jar

Ingredients
  

Peppermint Syrup

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure
  • 1 pinch salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Simmer gently for 2 minutes until the syrup becomes clear and slightly thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and salt until fully blended.
  • Cool until warm. The syrup should lightly coat the back of a spoon while remaining pourable.
  • Transfer into a clean glass bottle using a funnel and refrigerate until completely chilled.
  • Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons into coffee, espresso, lattes, iced drinks, hot chocolate, milk, or desserts.

Notes

Cook briefly for a lighter consistency or simmer another minute for a richer syrup without over-reducing. Chill completely before making iced beverages. Stir gently into layered drinks for even flavor. Customize with chocolate, vanilla bean, or mocha flavors. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one month and shake before using.
