Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Granulated white sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Pure maple extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar. Stir to mix well.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until the sugars have completely dissolved.
Step 3
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the syrup from sticking to the pan.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the pure maple extract and vanilla extract (if using) and mix well to combine.
Step 6
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the syrup to a glass jar or a heat-safe container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 8
Before serving, reheat gently if needed. Enjoy over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or as a sweetener in your favorite recipes.
