Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • funnel
  • Glass Bottle or Jar

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.
