Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon rum extract (optional)
Instructions
Simmer:
- Whisk together the coffee, sugar, and espresso powder in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat and simmer the syrup for 11 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the syrup is slightly reduced and thickened.
- Move the pan off of the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the rum extract (if using.)
Cool:
- Let the syrup cool to room tempertaure. Pour it into a bottle or a small mason jar. Store the coffee syrup in the fridge for up to one month.
- Makes about 7 ounces of coffee syrup.
Notes
- When simmering the Coffee Syrup, watch the saucepan carefully—the syrup can quickly foam up and boil over! Stir it often and reduce the heat slightly if necessary to prevent boil overs.
