OOPSIE DOOPSIE

So, I had every intention of making this cinnamon dolce syrup from Karen at Kitchen Treaty, but friends, honestly, I don’t know what happened. I suppose it was a happy accident that occurred around 5:50-ish a.m. Instead of the cinnamon in the recipe, I added in a splash {or two} of vanilla extract. And let me tell you, it was amazing! Now, I have no clue what you would even call this now, but for now, let’s just call it awesome iced coffee with this simple syrup goodness. Sounds about right…

Simple Syrup Goodness

1/4 c brown sugar
2 Tb + a lil extra pure maple syrup
1/4 c water
dash or two of vanilla extract

I combined all of the ingredients together on the stove on medium heat until all the sugar dissolved. About five minutes. When I was done, I let it cool down and hang out in its new friend. While the syrup was cooling, I dumped some ice cubes and room-temp coffee into another class. Then, I added about 2 Tb of the cooled syrup to the iced coffee.

After I added the syrup, I added a splash of whole milk. Oh, the beauty!

And I watched it just hang out for a minute…

Oh … I watched it again…

Finally, after just watching these guys hang out, I stirred it up and enjoyed!

Hope you try this out! Let me know if you like it as much as I do. Also, what do you love to add to your iced coffee? {Sweetened condensed milk is a guilty pleasure of mine!}
