Caramel Syrup
Caramel syrup is a rich homemade syrup that blends perfectly into coffee drinks. Easy to make with only three ingredients and way better than store-bought.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- ¾ cup water added later
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add sugar and 1/4 cup water to a saucepan. Heat over medium until dissolved.
- Let it simmer without stirring until it turns deep amber (8–12 minutes).
- Remove from heat and slowly add 3/4 cup water, stirring carefully.
- Return to low heat and stir until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract.
- Let cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Add water slowly to prevent splattering.
- Store in the fridge and warm slightly before use if needed.
- The syrup has around 50 calories per tablespoon.
