Description
Brown Sugar Simple Syrup is perfect for Old Fashioned cocktails and brown sugar lattes. It's as simple as it sounds and a blank canvas for additional flavors, like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and orange.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar (light or dark), about 7.5 oz.
- 1 cup tap or filtered water
Instructions
- Add sugar and water to a small saucepan. Heat over medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts, 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture come to a boil to avoid the syrup crystalizing (it's okay if the syrup comes to a low simmer). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Transfer to an air-tight container like a mason jar or syrup jar with a spout and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
- Light brown sugar has about half the amount of molasses compared to dark brown sugar. Either work well here, just use your preferred sugar.
- Use the syrup in cocktails, coffee drinks or drizzled over fruit or French toast.
- Use about 1-2 tablespoons to sweeten drinks.
