    Save Recipe

    It’s no secret that you can save money making your coffee at home. You’ve heard the lectures for awhile now, I bet.

    I admit to have given some of those lectures. And let me tell you there is nothing more satisfying that watching your kids (who previously said, “Yeah, yeah, whatever,”) not only make their coffee drinks to take to school but also admit you were right.

    Whew. Parenting level unlocked right there.

    So, let’s pretend I’m older than you and I’m gonna impart all kinds of wisdom right here:

    Making any of these coffee syrup recipes will make you feel accomplished, taste great, and save you money.

    Why Make Your Own Coffee Syrups

    It’s easy. These homemade coffee syrup recipes contain sugar, water, and some type of flavoring, so it’s really easy. Once you have them made, you can jazz up your favorite coffee drinks in a jiffy.

    It’s cheap. White sugar is cheap and bottled syrups are not. At last look, a bottle of Torani starts at $8, but you can still buy a lot of sugar for that price. There are lots of things to make yourself to save money, coffee syrups included.

    It’s tasty. Making your own coffee syrups means you can make the flavors you like in the thickness and sweetness you prefer. You can also use the syrups in other desserts, like this Gingerbread Ice Cream Sundae Recipe.

    Coffee Syrup Recipes

    At its simplest, coffee syrup is a sweetener. In syrup form, it dissolves easily in cold beverages, making it a great mix-in for iced coffee. You can add all kinds of flavoring to your coffee syrups as an easy way to flavor your coffee drinks.

    These coffee syrup recipes are simple and easy to prepare. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    Coffee syrup is a great food gift to give at the holidays or for a housewarming gift.
