Ingredients for Almond Syrup For Flavored Coffee

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Almond Extract

How to Make Almond Syrup For Flavored Coffee

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
  5. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or more, to taste). Start with less and add more until you reach your desired almond flavor intensity.
  6. Once completely cool, transfer the syrup to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
