Syrups are a great addition to desserts or milk drinks. However, do not spend money and buy it in the store, because it is better to make the supplement yourself at home.

Coffee syrup is prepared very simply and even novice cooks can cope with this task. Below you can find the recipe and find out what dishes and drinks are best to add this incredibly delicious topping.

Coffee syrup recipe

This recipe is perhaps the simplest of all that exist. However, the most important condition for the preparation of coffee syrup - coffee must be natural. It is best to choose beans of the strongest roast. So, for cooking you will need:

• 250 milliliters of strong coffee;
• 800 grams of sugar;
• 2 sachets of vanilla sugar.

First of all, you need to mix coffee and sugar in a saucepan, put on a slow fire and bring to a boil. When bubbles begin to appear, it is necessary to reduce the heat to the very minimum and hold the mixture for fifteen minutes. Stir the liquid from time to time so that it does not stick to the sides of the pan.

Worth itnote that if the liquid in the saucepan boils or foam rises, then the temperature is too high. In this case, remove the syrup from the heat, mix the mixture well, reduce the heat even more and put the saucepan back on the stove.

At the last minute of boiling, add vanilla sugar to the syrup and mix well again. Next, you need to pour the finished syrup into a container that can be tightly closed. Glass bottles with a tight-fitting lid are best suited for this. After cooling, the syrup must be moved to storage in the refrigerator. If you plan to use it immediately, then there is no need to pour it into a bottle. In this case, the syrup can be added to ready meals, cocktails or other drinks.

Where can I add syrup?

Coffee flavor goes great with vanilla ice cream. Therefore, dessert can be put in bowls and pour syrup on top.

You can add this topping to a milkshake. It is worth noting that this drink is very easy to prepare - you need to mix a scoop of ice cream, 200-300 milliliters of milk in a blender (you can add half a banana if you wish). The drink is poured into glasses and coffee syrup is added to it. Milkshake will appeal to all family members, especially children. Therefore, do not miss the opportunity to please your household.

This syrup can be added to regular milk. For example, on a hot summer day, you can cook a fairly simplecocktail - mix a few ice cubes in a glass, add about 40 milliliters of coffee syrup and pour pasteurized milk over everything.

Conclusion

Homemade coffee syrup is a great alternative to store-bought toppings. By cooking it at home, you can be sure that it does not contain harmful impurities or flavor enhancers.

However, you should definitely remember that coffee syrup is not stored for long - no more than two weeks, while the container must be closed and kept in the refrigerator.
