Homemade Coffee Syrups Recipes

Don’t spend a fortune on store-bought syrups! Have cafe style coffee at home with these SIMPLE Homemade Coffee Syrups! So many flavor choices!

I love coffee! Shocker, right?! Starbucks is a weakness of mine that I am trying to avoid for the benefit of my waistline, and my wallet. I do love all of the fancy flavors that they offer.  I could buy those Torani Syrups in-store or online, which isn’t cheap, or I could make my own! It is so easy to make; you will be amazed!

First off, I found these cute little Oil Drizzler bottles in the dollar bins at Target. 2 Bottles for $3. Not a bad price since they are glass! I have heard some dollar trees also carry them, although I couldn’t find them at mine. You can order them online at DollarTree.com

I then made a simple syrup. Equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan on the stove. Simmering for about 10 minutes. I did 1 cup and 1 cup.  You can increase or decrease by how much syrup you want to make at once.

Once the simple syrup is complete, you can flavor it how you would like. A tsp of caramel ice cream topping, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract, mint extract, orange extract…..you get the point. You can make them as strong as you would like. I then poured them into these bottles….and labeled.

Of course, I then brewed a cup of coffee! I love getting a selection of K-Cups from Cross Country Cafe. They have the best prices around. Stir in a drizzle of your favorite syrup, maybe a little milk and you are ready to relax!

How to Store Homemade Coffee Syrups

These are best kept refrigerated up to 2 weeks. Some of the flavors like the peppermint can last longer.

Adults only who want to extend the shelf life of their syrups can add a tablespoon of vodka or rum to the bottle and the syrups life will extend to a month in the fridge.
