- Heat ingredients on medium-medium high heat and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, continue to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir syrup occasionally.
- After you have simmered it, remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, pour into a pint jar and refrigerate until use. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.

The best homemade coffee syrup!
We love our coffee around here. While most of the time we drink our coffee black with a little milk or cream, it’s always fun to jazz it up a bit. Heavy store-bought syrups are often unhealthy so we usually reach for a little maple syrup or our favoriteVanilla Coffee Creamer. Sometimes we will put a Homemade Marshmallow without Corn Syrup on top!
Earlier this fall though I went to a local coffee shop where the owners made their own simple syrup. I usually don’t get syrups at the coffee shop but this one caught my eye! It was sweetened with maple syrup and delicious spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla bean. Swoon! I tried it and was in love! And I may have gone back a few too many times.
I was so in love with the flavor, I had to recreate this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Key features in this recipe:
- Sweetened with real maple syrup, this recipe has delicious maple flavor and is a much healthier option.
- The cinnamon in this syrup pairs so well with coffee and actually enhances the coffee flavor.
- I added cardamom to this simple syrup and you wouldn’t believe how much flavor it adds. Cardamom brightens the heaviness of the maple and cinnamon with an almost citrus spice.
- While you can use real vanilla extract in this recipe, I chose to use vanilla bean powder instead. It gives this syrup a rich and creamy flavor.
- BONUS: when you simmer this simple syrup on the stove it will make your house smell amazing!
