Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp butter extract
  • tsp almond extract

Instructions

  • Put water and sugar in a medium saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved and mixture has thickened a bit.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and add vanilla, butter, and almond extracts and stir.
  • Pour syrup into a mason jar or bowl and place in fridge to cool completely before using. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • If you don't have butter extract, you can melt 1 Tbsp unsalted butter into the syrup. But note that when the syrup cools, the butter will harden and get a bit grainy. You can also make the syrup without the butter extract and it will still be tasty!
