How to Make Coffee Syrup For One

In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the syrup slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon butter.
Serve warm over your favorite dessert or beverage.
**Variations:** Add 1-2 teaspoons bourbon or coffee liqueur for an adult twist, or stir in 1-2 teaspoons sour cream for a creamy, tangy finish.
