Vanilla Bourbon Syrup
Equipment
- saucepan
- strainer
- syrup dispenser
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups brown sugar light or dark
- 2 tbsp bourbon vanilla bean paste Trader Joe’s
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and brown sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved—about 4–5 minutes.
- Once the mixture comes to a light simmer, reduce the heat to low and let it cook for another 5–7 minutes. This will help thicken the syrup slightly and deepen the flavor.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Bourbon Vanilla Bean Paste. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Let the syrup cool completely, then pour it into a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- Shake before using—it may settle slightly over time.
- Add to cold brew, lattes, French toast, baked goods, or bourbon cocktails for a cozy twist.
