Is Caramel Coffee Syrup the Same as Regular Caramel?
Caramel syrup used for coffee is different from dessert or candy caramel.
Candy caramel has a thicker consistency that is only produced through a very specific cooking process.
On the other hand, coffee caramel syrup is thinner and is much easier to make. You don’t need to worry about reaching an exact temperature, so it’s much more beginner-friendly!
What You Need to Make Starbucks Caramel Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon caramel flavoring
- pinch of salt
How to Make Starbucks Caramel Syrup
- In a small saucepan, add the sugar, 1/2 cup of the water, and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and everything is well-combined.
- Cover with a lid and let the mixture boil for 4-6 minutes.
- Remove the lid and quickly whisk the mixture until the caramel turns a light golden amber color.
- Remove the saucepan away from heat and quickly but very carefully pour in the remaining water. You’ll want to be extra careful as the caramel syrup may splatter when you do this.
- Stir in the caramel flavoring and salt until combined, and let cool. Transfer to an airtight jar (I love pouring it into this pump container) and use as needed in all your coffee creations! ENJOY!
