Salted Caramel Coffee Syrup Recipe
I’m having a love affair with salted caramel right now… I’ll take it in any form I can get it – chocolate bars, fudge, hot chocolate, profiteroles…. I’m not fussy!
I like to whip up a latte mid-morning, and I often make batches of syrup to sweeten it with {such as this delicious gingerbread one}. So it made sense to make a salted caramel coffee syrup, no?!
While caramel can be tricky to get just right, as this is just a syrup for coffee it was fairly foolproof – no faffing about with candy thermometers! And I can report back that it did indeed taste perfectly delicious in my morning coffee!
Y O U ‘ L L N E E D:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1tsp vanilla extract
Pinch sea salt
I N S T R U C T I O N S:
Place the sugar and 1/4 cup of the water in a pan over a low heat. Stir until the sugar has dissovelved. Cover the pan and turn the heat up to medium/high for two minutes. Then uncover the pan and cook, stirring continuosly, until the mixture turns a amber colour. Stir in the vanilla and salt et voila!
I usually pop a teaspoon or two in the pan with some milk, heat through, whisk and pour over my coffee. The syrup also works great in iced coffee too.
