Demerara Syrup

This syrup will bring a deep molasses flavor to all your creations. It’s perfect for sweetening iced teas, coffee, or drizzling over desserts. Let’s gather our ingredients and get started!

Ingredients

1 cup Demerara sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Start by measuring out one cup of Demerara sugar. This sugar has a beautiful amber color and brings that robust flavor we love.
In a saucepan, combine the Demerara sugar and one cup of water. You want to mix these two together well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves. It’s important to keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to prevent burning. We’re looking for a liquid that’s clear, not cloudy!
If you want to add a touch of vanilla for an extra flavor dimension, now’s the time! Just throw in that teaspoon of vanilla extract and give it a good stir.
Once everything is mixed and dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Allow it to cool down for a bit – we don’t want to bottle it up when it’s still hot.
After cooling, pour the syrup into a clean glass jar or bottle. It’s important to keep it airtight, so make sure to seal it up nice and tight!
Store your homemade Demerara syrup in the fridge. It will last for about a month, but trust me, it won’t last that long once you start using it!

And there you have it! A simple yet delightful Demerara syrup recipe that’s perfect for all your sweetening needs. Get ready to elevate your drinks and desserts with this rich syrup. Enjoy!
