brown sugar syrup recipe With Vanilla Bean Speckles
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: About 2 cups (16 oz) 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
This recipe guides busy families and home cooks to craft a premium, easy-to-make brown sugar syrup with vanilla bean speckles. It’s perfect for quick meal prep mornings, transforming coffee, desserts, and breakfast items with its rich, caramel aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed (200 g)
- 1 cup water (240 ml)
- 1 whole vanilla bean, scraped
- 0.125 tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a 1.5-quart saucepan, add the 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1 cup water, and a pinch of salt. Scrape the vanilla bean pod, adding speckles and the pod to the pan.
- Dissolve and Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the brown sugar fully dissolves and the mixture turns clear.
- Gentle Simmer: Bring the dissolved mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, simmering undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, until the syrup thickens and darkens.
- Cool and Store: Remove from heat, carefully remove the vanilla bean pod, and allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, pour into an airtight jar.
Notes
Store in an airtight glass jar for extended storage. For a spicier syrup, add a cinnamon stick during simmering. Simmer longer for thicker syrup or less for thinner. If too thin, simmer an extra 2-3 minutes; if too thick, whisk in 1 tablespoon of hot water at a time. If grainy, reheat gently, stirring until smooth. Use plump, moist vanilla beans and fresh, good-quality brown sugar for best results. Always handle hot syrup with caution.
