Description
This brown sugar syrup is quick and easy-to-make, using only 2 ingredients. Use it to give cocktails a sweet caramel undertone, or to drizzle over your favorite pancakes for a decadent breakfast.
Instructions
- Heat the brown sugar and water on a pan over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- To make a thin brown sugar simple syrup (for drinks): Heat only until the brown sugar has fully dissolved in the water.
- To make a thick brown sugar syrup (for pancakes, waffles, etc.): Once the sugar has dissolved on low heat, slightly increase the temperature to reach a gentle simmer. Adjust the temperature to maintain a gentle simmer for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature before using.
Notes
- Don’t let the syrup boil. Boiling the syrup or heating it for too long will create a massive sticky gooey mess that is hard to clean up. The syrup thickens up a lot as it cools down.
- Storage: Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a few weeks.
