Coconut Simple Coffee Syrup
Hi there!
This Coconut Simple Coffee Syrup is going to be great for you if you love coffee as I do.
This is the best method to make your morning coffee, iced latte, or even tea taste like it’s from the tropics.
The best part?
You only need a few simple things to build it.
You won’t believe how good it is till you try it.
Plus, it’s safe for kids if they prefer to add a little sweetness to their milk or hot chocolate!
Let’s get started.
Ingredients
- ◯ 1 cup of white sugar
- ◯ 1 cup of water
- ◯ ½ cup of canned coconut milk (full fat for more flavor!)
- ◯ 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ◯ ¼ teaspoon of sea salt
Things You Will Need
- A small pot
- Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
- Spoons and cups for measuring
- Optional: fine mesh strainer
- Storage in a glass jar or bottle
Instructions
1. Mix the ingredients together.
Put the sugar, water, coconut milk, and sea salt in a small pot. Mix well to mix.
2. Let it simmer and stir
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until the sugar melts and the syrup starts to boil. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for approximately 5 minutes, stirring it every so often.
3. Add the vanilla
Take the pot off the heat and mix in the vanilla essence.
4. Let it cool and put it away.
Let the syrup cool down to room temperature before pouring it into a clean glass jar or bottle. Keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Tips & Variations
- For the richest and creamiest syrup, use coconut milk that is full-fat. Don’t be cheap here!
- To keep the sugar from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir it often while it heats up.
- To keep your syrup fresh for up to two weeks, put it in a clean, airtight container.
- Want more coconut flavor? Toast some coconut flakes and let them soak in the syrup before draining.
- Do it with your kids! Little assistants can easily and funly measure and stir.
You can make the recipe twice and store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. Great for mornings when you’re busy!
To keep condensation from forming, let the syrup cool all the way down before putting it in the fridge.
Alternative Sweeteners and Milk Options
- Sweetener: Use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar to make the coconut flavor even stronger.
- No Vanilla: If you want the coconut flavor to truly shine, don’t add vanilla.
- Milk without dairy: Not a lover of coconut? You can use oat or almond milk instead, but it will taste different.
Storage & Usage Suggestions
You may keep your syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks in an airtight jar.
It might separate over time (which is completely natural), so shake or stir it before using it.
You may use it on pancakes, waffles, or even vanilla ice cream for a delicious coconut delight!
Conclusion
That’s all there is to it! Your Coconut Coffee Syrup is ready to make your morning coffee even better.
It’s easy to prepare at home and tastes great.
