Ingredients

Butterscotch Syrup

1 cup packed brown sugar light brown
1 cup water
1 tsp butterscotch extract
1 tsp vanilla extract pure
1 2 tsp butter extract optional
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 butterscotch extract, butter extract, vanilla extract, and salt.
Cool until warm. The syrup should appear silky and lightly coat the back of a spoon.
Transfer into a clean glass bottle using a funnel. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled before serving.
Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons into coffee, espresso, lattes, iced drinks, milk, or drizzle over desserts.

Notes

Cook briefly for a thinner syrup or simmer an extra minute for a richer consistency without over-thickening. Chill completely before preparing iced beverages. Stir gently while assembling layered drinks. Customize with caramel extract, cinnamon, or sea salt. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one month and shake before each use.
