Notes

  • Stir well before each use if the syrup thickens in the fridge.
  • Simmer gently to avoid crystallization and maintain smooth texture.
  • Adjust thickness by simmering longer for a richer syrup or adding a splash of water to thin.
  • Perfect for coffee, lattes, chai, boba, pancakes, waffles, and French toast.
  • Can be doubled or tripled easily; just keep the sugar-to-water ratio the same.
