A few months after working at my current coffee shop, I started recipe testing and developing house made syrups. Many of my creations saved us a ton of money and the quality was way better than the previous store-bought syrups we had been using.
There was one caveat — because of permitting, I had to make all of these syrups without cooking them on a stove (plus we didn’t have one anyway!). If you’ve searched for syrup recipes online before, you’ll find that many of them have instructions to heat the ingredients on the stove and while that is a great method, a lot of times it isn’t necessary to make a syrup!
I found that adding a little less water (that’s boiling hot!) to these recipes helped them maintain a syrupy texture without cooking.
Thus my shortcut coffee syrup recipes were born! And today I’m sharing one of our most popular syrups both in the shop and our most liked and played on Instagram.
It’s easy to throw together and quite delicious to add to your favorite coffee or tea drink. Stay tuned for more blog posts with my favorite ways to use it!
