Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar. Stir to mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until the sugars have completely dissolved.
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.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the pure maple extract and vanilla extract (if using) and mix well to combine.
Let the syrup cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a glass jar or a heat-safe container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Before serving, reheat gently if needed. Enjoy over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or as a sweetener in your favorite recipes.
