Homemade Maple Syrup

Ingrediënten

1 cup brown sugar (or 1/2 cup brown sugar + 1/2 cup white sugar)

1/2 cup water

1/2 tsp maple extract or maple flavoring

1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

1 tbsp butter (optional, for a richer flavor and smoother texture)

Instructies

Combine the sugars and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Bring to a simmer (not a full boil) and let it cook for about 3–5 minutes to thicken slightly.

Remove from heat and stir in the maple extract (and vanilla and/or butter if using).

Cool slightly and pour into a jar or syrup dispenser.

Notities

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm slightly before serving if it thickens too much.
