Espresso Syrup

Oh, yes. Coffee is my second true love, my singular vice and one of the greatest pleasures to be indulged in. Consider this self care for coffeephiles.


Makes 2 cups

1 litre  (4 cups) cold water
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup vanilla syrup (You know, the kind you put in coffee)
3 tablespoons instant espresso
1/2 cup cold brewed espresso (That’s a double shot)
1 tablespoon high quality vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt

Combine water, sugar, vanilla syrup and espresso powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then add espresso. Turn the heat down low and let simmer until the mixture has reduced by half, about 2 hours. Take off heat, let cool a bit and add vanilla extract and sea salt, whisking to make sure it is incorporated.

Use as is in coffee, over ice cream, by the spoonful…

Or stay tuned for an espresso liqueur that will make you laugh with delight and that even I could drink a sip of (I don’t know the last time I finished a drink or really even started the one that was made for me).

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
