A smooth and rich brown sugar simple syrup that brings warm, caramel-like sweetness to coffee, tea, and cocktails. Made with just three ingredients in minutes, this homemade syrup is fresher and better than anything store-bought!
Combine brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a smooth syrup.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Let the syrup cool, then transfer it to a jar or bottle for storage.
Notes
If you want a thicker, richer brown sugar syrup (closer to a caramel-like texture), you can adjust the ratio to 2:1 (two parts brown sugar to one part water) and simmer it a little longer until it thickens.
