Vanilla Caramel Syrup - For Coffee or Espresso
"This will replace the expensive syrup you buy to make flavored coffee or espresso. I think it is as good as "Torani" or "Davinci". This recipe will nearly fill an empty 23 oz. bottle."

21 fluid ounces

- 1⁄4 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 2 cups hot water (from your tap)

- Slice vanilla beans lengthwise with a sharp knife, use sharp edge of knife to scrape out the inside of the bean against the cutting board.
- Put the scrapings and the outer beans in a sauce pan.
- Put all other ingredients in the pan and heat on low stirring often for about 10 minutes.
- Turn heat up to medium for a few more minutes (3-5) stirring constantly.

- Filter your hot syrup through a Melitta and coffee filter or through a strainer and cheese cloth.

This is an AWESOME, very simple recipe!!! I made it without the caramel and did not use vanilla extract. I used 1c. vanilla sugar, 1c. regular sugar, and 1 vanilla bean -- YUMMY! -
Great syrup. My family loves it so much we are making a huge batch and giving it as holiday gifts to teachers and friends.

I am the mother of three (one grown, one in middle school and one in high school). I have grandchildren who we invite over regularly to spend the night. We have lots of fun and a very full house!
I do all of the baking and my husband cooks all the dinners. He loves to BBQ and cook and he is GOOD at it! He is wonderful with the children and I appreciate him so!
I enjoy gardening, crafts, sewing, and crocheting, pets, and all kinds of "kid fun".
If I had a month off I would spend it somewhere on the coast with just my sweetie and a view of the sea. I would miss the kids terribly so I would have them visit us in the hotel (that of course has room service) on Thursdays,Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for swimming, walks, beach-combing, dune climbing and dune buggy rides, movies, church, and the hottub!
