Notes

  • Use Light or Dark Brown Sugar: Both work well, but dark brown sugar has a stronger molasses flavor.
  • Store in A Glass Jar: A glass jar or bottle keeps it fresh longer.
  • Add flavor: For a fun twist, add a cinnamon stick or vanilla bean while heating the syrup.
  • Adjust Thickness: Simmer longer for a thicker syrup, or reduce heat for a thinner one.
  • Try With Coffee: Brown sugar syrup is amazing in coffee and iced lattes.
