This rich, cozy coffee syrup blends nutty browned butter with deep caramel notes from brown sugar, finished with vanilla and a hint of salt. It adds a warm, bakery-style flavor to coffee, turning an everyday cup into something indulgent and café-worthy.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp butter
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and brown it, stirring until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden.
2. Once browned, add the brown sugar and whisk until combined.
3. Add the water and whisk again.
4. Continue cooking for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to look light and puffy.
5. Remove from heat and pour into a heat-safe container.
6. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
7. Store in the refrigerator until needed. The mixture may separate, so stir before using.

Notes

My Favorite Way to Use:

1. Add 2–3 tbsp coffee syrup and a splash of whole milk or heavy cream to a mug.
2. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then froth.
3. Pour in hot coffee or espresso, stir, and enjoy.
