Starbucks Caramel Syrup Copycat Recipe

Step 1

Combine sugar and 3/4 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium once the mixture comes to a boil. Do not stir.

Step 3

Let the syrup continue to boil until it turns a light golden color. This will take approximately 10 minutes. Be careful to keep an eye on the syrup the entire time since it can burn quickly after turning light golden.

Step 4

While waiting for syrup to carmelize to the light golden color, heat up remaining 3/4 cup of water and set aside.

Step 5

Immediately remove the syrup from heat as soon as it turns light golden color.

Step 6

Quickly stir in remaining 3/4 cup of water and caramel flavor. Be careful as hot syrup may splatter when water is added. If any of the syrup hardens, return the saucepan to the stove over low heat, stirring until harden syrup turns back to liquid.

Step 7

Let the caramel syrup cool and then pour into a container such as a glass jar or squirt bottle.
