Brown sugar syrup is a versatile and delicious addition to various desserts, beverages, and even breakfast items. Here’s a simple recipe to make brown sugar syrup at home:

Ingredients:​

• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark, depending on your preference)
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Combine Brown Sugar and Water:
   • In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water.
2. Heat and Dissolve:
   • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the brown sugar completely dissolves. This usually takes 3-5 minutes.
3. Simmer:
   • Once the sugar is dissolved, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add Vanilla Extract (Optional):
   • If using vanilla extract for extra flavor, stir it into the syrup after it has simmered.
5. Cool:
   • Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool to room temperature. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
6. Store:
   • Transfer the brown sugar syrup to a clean glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:​

• Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker syrup, you can simmer the mixture a bit longer to reduce it further.
• Flavor Variations: You can customize the syrup by adding spices such as cinnamon or ginger during the simmering process.
• Usage: Brown sugar syrup can be used in various ways – drizzle it over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal, stir it into coffee or tea, use it as a topping for ice cream or desserts, or incorporate it into cocktails and mocktails.

I think using dark brown sugar gives the syrup a deeper caramel flavor, though light brown sugar works great too!
