How to Make Coffee Syrup

Step 1

Brew the coffee following your favorite method (i.e., instant coffee granules, French press, drip, etc.) The aim is to make it almost double the strength you usually would.

Step 2

Transfer the coffee to a small saucepan with your preferred sugar or sweetener and bring it to a soft boil over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Then, reduce the heat to low and allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes. If you want a thicker syrup, you can continue to simmer for up to 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Allow the homemade coffee syrup to cool and transfer it to a sterilized glass jar.

Step 5

Store: Store the syrup in an airtight bottle in the fridge for 2 weeks. Give it a shake before using it each time.If it’s thickened too much in the fridge, you can microwave it for 15-25 seconds before using it.Freeze: Transfer the syrup to a freezer-safe jar/container or pour the syrup into an ice cube tray and freeze for up to 4 months. It won't freeze solid, so you can use it almost immediately from the freezer.
