Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of water (from the 1 cup of water). Heat over medium-low, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar completely.
Step 2
Once the sugar is dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Do not stir; instead, gently swirl the pan occasionally to prevent crystallization.
Step 3
Continue cooking the sugar mixture until it turns a deep amber color, approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Watch closely to ensure it does not burn.
Step 4
Carefully and slowly add the remaining 3/4 cup of water to the caramelized sugar. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir until the caramel redissolves into the water, forming a smooth syrup.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt.
Step 8
Allow the syrup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container for storage.
Step 9
Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month and use as desired in coffee, lattes, or desserts.
