Coffee Simple Syrup
Add a coffee-flair to mixed drinks with this quick and easy coffee simple syrup. It takes less than 5 minutes to make and can be used in place of a traditional simple syrup for any recipe.
Servings: 6 fl ounces
Ingredients
- 100 grams white sugar (or honey, syrup or sugar alternate)
- 100 grams strong-brewed coffee immediately after brew
Instructions
- Brew your coffee. Brew stronger than usual at around a 1:10 coffee to water ratio.
- Separate out 100 grams of the still hot, freshly brewed coffee.
- Measure out 100 grams of sugar.
- Dump the sugar into the hot coffee.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved (about 1 minute).
Notes
Sugar options: Any sugar (honey, syrup, coconut sugar, etc.) will work for this recipe. While I usually prefer to use honey or syrup as a sweetener, I found that to keep the coffee syrup as close as possible to the original coffee's flavor profile, white sugar works best.
Storage: Store the coffee simple syrup in the fridge. It should last for a few weeks, though given how easy it is to make, I tend to prefer smaller batches and to use it more quickly.
