Introduction
Coffee syrup is a delicious way to add the flavor of coffee to your baked goods. It can be used in place of liquid in cookie and cake recipes, or even as a drizzle over vanilla bean ice cream for a fun twist on an old favorite! I also like using it as an added ingredient to pancakes, waffles, and brownies.

Coffee syrup is delicious on ice cream. It’s also great for pancakes and waffles, or even as a topping for other desserts.
To use the syrup in your favorite recipes, simply substitute it for regular brown sugar in equal amounts. For example, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of brown sugar, you can use 1/2 cup coffee syrup instead (or vice versa).
Add a little bit to a batch of brownies for an extra boost of caffeine.
To use it in a recipe, you’ll need to know the volume of your syrup. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup for every 2 cups of batter. So if you’re making brownies and have 8 cups of batter, that means 4 tablespoons would be a good amount to add (1/2 cup).
The benefits? You’ll get extra caffeine without changing up your recipe too much–and since brownies are delicious with or without coffee syrup added, they’re perfect candidates!
Add it to a cup of hot chocolate instead of regular syrup to add the flavor of coffee to your treat!
You can add a tablespoon or two of coffee syrup to your hot chocolate, or mix it with plain hot water for a caffeine boost. The flavor will mix well with the hot chocolate powder and make it taste like a mocha!

Use the syrup in place of water or milk in recipes. For example, you can use it to make chocolate chip cookies:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola) or melted butter
- 2 large eggs at room temperature, beaten until fluffy
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour

Coffee syrup is a great complement to vanilla bean ice cream, which can often be a bit plain and boring. By adding coffee syrup, you’ll add some excitement to your dessert without changing up the basic recipe too much–you’ll just need to slightly increase the amount of chocolate syrup (if you use it) or caramel sauce. You could also use coffee syrup in place of chocolate syrup on vanilla bean ice cream; both will add depth and flavor while still keeping things simple enough that everyone will enjoy eating it together!

To make coffee syrup:
- To start, you need to brew some strong coffee. I like using an Aeropress but any method will work just fine. The important thing is that it’s strong enough that when added to water or milk (or other liquids), the resulting mixture still tastes like coffee.
Once brewed, strain out all those grounds so only clear liquid remains, then cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.*
