Ingredients

1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons maple syrup (real maple syrup-not pancake syrup)
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Add water and dark brown sugar to a small sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat. Heat until hot and not boiling, and sugar is dissolved completely.
Add maple syrup and salt.
Cool completely until room temperature. Serve in hot or cold coffee or add to milk and then add to your beverage of choice.
Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container.

Notes

A serving is 2 tablespoons.

Storage: Store this delicious brown sugar syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I like to use a small mason jar (which makes a great homemade gift!). Homemade brown sugar syrup should last in the refrigerator for about one to two weeks if flavored, but up to four weeks just made as is in this recipe.

Variations:

Spicy - it may sound weird, but I love a spicy/sweet cocktail or chocolate bar with chili peppers, so why not a coffee? Add a pinch of cayenne!

Vanilla - add some pure vanilla extract for an added flavor boost, or add real vanilla beans if you want to be extra.

Cinnamon - add some ground cinnamon powder for a fall coffee drink, or steep a couple of whole cinnamon sticks in the syrup.

Pumpkin pie spice - everyone loves pumpkin spice everything - make you're own PSL with this one!
