Do you have any coffee lovers on your gift list for Christmas? These homemade coffee syrup recipes just might be the perfect fit! Even if you don’t want to make these latte-worthy syrups to give away, why not make them for yourself and indulge in Starbucks quality drinks right at home?
How To Make Flavored Coffee Syrups-
You are going to be amazed at how truly easy it is to make latte drinks right at home, to serve guests this holiday season. In all the recipes I share with you today, you will notice that they all start with some combination of sugar and water boiled into a simple syrup with the addition of spices and flavorings. That’s truly all there is to it.
So let’s get started…
The Basic Simple Syrup 101
if you have never made a simple syrup as a base. This is what you will do…
Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup white sugar.
Bring water and sugar to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until it has reduced by about half, which should take approximately 5-8 minutes.
For Flavored Coffee Syrups
Experiment with flavors, spices, and extracts to create your favorite coffee drink syrups. Practice in small batches, but once you find a blend you like, you can make larger portions and store in the refrigerate.
Now that you know how to make a basic syrup, here are seven flavored homemade coffee syrup recipes for you to try.
Caramel Syrup
¾ cup sugar
½ cup water
¼ cups caramel sauce
Combine the sugar, water and caramel sauce in a small pan. Heat the mixture over medium to high heat, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is nice and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool. Store in the refrigerator.
Salted Caramel Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons salted butter, cubed
1/4 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
In a medium saucepan, cook the sugar over medium heat, stirring often (if it becomes lumpy, reduce heat and refrain from stirring). When it turns a deep amber color, add the butter and stir until it is melted. Now add the cream (at this point the cream will make the mixture bubble up so be careful) whisk the syrup until the caramel is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate extra syrup.
Vanilla Coffee Syrup
3 ½ cups water
3 cups sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, gently stir together the water and sugars. Cook until mixture becomes thick (approximately 12-15 minutes). Allow to cool and stir in vanilla extract. Store in a glass bottle.
