This homemade sugar cookie coffee syrup is quick, easy, and made with simple ingredients. It turns an ordinary cup of coffee into a festive treat, perfect for everyday indulgence or holiday brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan. Stir to start dissolving the sugar.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer (small bubbles around the edges). This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Whisk occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat immediately. Add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Let the syrup cool in the saucepan for 10-15 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
  6. Pour the syrup into a clean glass jar using a funnel if desired. Let cool completely to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

The syrup will be thin when hot but thickens as it cools. If it becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of warm water and stir. Do not skip the salt—it balances the sweetness. Use a light hand with almond extract; too much can overpower. Let the syrup cool completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation.
