Flavor Enhancer:
- 0.5–1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Merge granulated sugar and freshly brewed coffee in a medium saucepan, positioning over low-intensity flame.
- Gently whisk the mixture, ensuring sugar crystals dissolve completely without caramelizing, creating a smooth liquid consistency.
- Once sugar fully integrates, remove pan from heat source immediately to prevent potential burning.
- Introduce pure vanilla extract into the warm coffee liquid, stirring delicately to distribute aromatic essence throughout the syrup.
- Allow the infused liquid to reach ambient temperature naturally, avoiding rapid cooling techniques.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a sanitized glass bottle or preserving jar to strain any potential undissolved particles.
- Carefully transfer the strained syrup into the sterilized container, eliminating potential sediment.
- Seal the container securely and refrigerate, maintaining optimal flavor and freshness for approximately four weeks.
- Before each use, gently shake the syrup to redistribute any settled components and restore its uniform texture.
