liquid gold syrup + iced coffee + cream
Yes, I stumbled upon something so simple it will stun you and rock your world. I’m dead serious. So, for a person who says I’ll take my coffee black, I’m gonna backtrack if you have this stashed in your fridge. And yes, personally I like it hot, but if I need coffee in a bad way and perhaps all day, this baby is quite nice on ice.
Treasure this recipe, I’m telling ya it’s liquid gold!
liquid gold syrup & iced coffee
liquid gold syrup - makes about 3/4 cups
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder
Combine the sugars in the water in a saucepan on medium heat. Allow for sugars to dissolve while bringing to a full boil.
Remove pan from heat and add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and cocoa powder. Stir till smooth.
Keep your Liquid Gold syrup handy in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to one month. If it lasts that long!
