Description
Silky, rich, and sweet with just the right touch of salt—this homemade caramel brûlée syrup will instantly elevate your coffee, lattes, or even desserts. It tastes like the holidays in a jar and comes together in under 30 minutes. Once you make it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Ingredients
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup water
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
Instructions
Caramelize sugar: Heat brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to melt. Reduce heat to low, stirring until fully melted.
Add water & milk: Carefully pour in water (the caramel will seize, that’s normal). Stir in sweetened condensed milk. Increase heat to medium and stir until caramel remelts.
Simmer: Keep mixture at a gentle simmer (don’t let it boil over) for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finish: Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.
Cool & store: Let cool completely before transferring to a jar. Store in fridge up to 2 weeks.
