Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp maple extract
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the sugar and water to a sauce pan and whisk together.
    1 cup white granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup water
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, and boiling for two full minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the extract.
    1 tsp maple extract
  • Let cool slightly, then serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep stirring! Stirring will keep the sugar from crystalizing as it cooks.
  • You want the boil to be a pretty gentle boil to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Don't add the extract while the syrup is on the heat.
  • Reheat any leftover syrup so it's pourable again after it chills and thickens in the fridge.
