With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a versatile syrup that offers a perfect balance of sweetness and robust coffee flavor.

Ingredients
- 250g Brown Sugar: Brings a deep, caramel-like sweetness.
- 250ml Strong Black Coffee: Provides the robust coffee essence.
- ½-1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Optional): Adds a hint of vanilla for an extra layer of flavor.
Directions
- Combine Ingredients: Place a pan on the stove over low heat. Add the brown sugar and strong black coffee. Gently stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. The low heat helps in preventing the sugar from burning, ensuring a smooth syrup.
- Add Vanilla: Once the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from the heat. If you’re using vanilla extract, this is the perfect time to stir it in. The residual heat will help integrate the vanilla flavor into the syrup without evaporating its essence.
- Cool and Strain: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. After it has cooled, strain the syrup through a sieve to ensure it’s smooth and free of any undissolved sugar granules or other impurities.
- Storage: Pour the syrup into a sterilized bottle or jar. Seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep well for up to a month, ready to enhance your drinks or dishes on demand!
