Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It’s only 3 ingredients. This coffee syrup is so easy to make with only 3 ingredients in under 15 minutes. 
• It’s versatile. Not only does this syrup make the best peanut butter iced coffee or peanut butter lattes, it also makes delicious peanut butter flavored cocktails!

• It’s better than store bought. This syrup adds real peanut butter flavoring. There is no artificial taste, unlike with storebought peanut butter syrup.

Ingredients

• Peanut Butter: For the best results, use creamy, smooth peanut butter. You can use chunky peanut butter but you will have to strain out any peanut chunks after making the syrup. Natural peanut butter doesn’t give the syrup as much of an authentic peanut butter taste.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar works best for this recipe. It will dissolve completely, adding sweetness to the coffee syrup. 
• Water: Use filtered water to avoid any unpleasant flavors from tap water.

Step By Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat the sugar, water and peanut butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the sugar has fully dissolved and the syrup is a smooth, even consistency.

Step 2: Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove any peanut chunks or undissolved pieces of peanut butter.

Storage

Allow the syrup to fully cool to room temperature before storing. 

Store the syrup in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 weeks. 

The syrup will separate once sitting for a while. Before using, shake or stir well.  

Expert Tips

• Don’t let the syrup boil. Adjust the temperature as needed to prevent the syrup from boiling. Boiling the syrup may cause the syrup to become too thick. 
• Strain the syrup. This syrup should turn into a smooth liquid, but if there are pieces of peanut butter that won’t dissolve, or if you used a chunky peanut butter, pass the syrup through a fine mesh strainer before storing it. 
• Customize the syrup. Customize this syrup to your liking. You can add in a dash of vanilla extract or cinnamon for example. You can also use almond or cashew butter instead of peanut butter for a slightly different flavor.
