How to Make Coffee Syrup

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately add 1/2 cup coarsely ground coffee (medium-dark roast recommended).
  3. Let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a stronger coffee flavor. Stir occasionally.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer into a heat-safe container, pressing gently on the coffee grounds to extract as much syrup as possible.
  5. Discard the coffee grounds. Let the syrup cool completely to room temperature.
  6. Transfer the cooled syrup to an airtight container and refrigerate. Your homemade coffee syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks.
