Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar granulated
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until sugar has dissolved. Do not boil.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in coconut extract.
- Store in a mason jar or other food-safe, airtight container for up to one month.
Notes
Make sure not to boil the water and sugar mixture. It causes the sugar to get to too high of a heat point and become too sticky. You want the sugar to just dissolve before removing it from heat.
If you plan on using your coconut syrup for cocktails, make sure to stick to white sugar or a white sugar substitute so as not to change the color and presentation. You can use brown sugar or coconut sugar in this recipe, but keep in mind it will change the color of the syrup.
You may need to adjust the amount of coconut extract you add depending on how potent it is. Each brand varies in how they make the extract. Add a little at a time and do a quick taste test to make sure it’s exactly how you like it.
If stored in an airtight container, the coconut simple syrup will last about one month in the fridge.
