Dark brown sugar
The heart of the syrup. It gives that deep, caramel-like flavor and a warm sweetness that pairs beautifully with coffee.
Water
Helps dissolve the sugar and creates the syrupy consistency we love for drizzling.
Salt
Just a pinch balances the sweetness and enhances all the rich flavors.
Vanilla extract
Adds a cozy, rounded flavor that makes this syrup taste amazing.
