How to Make Peppermint Syrup

During the holiday season, peppermint is a vital flavor for any coffee shop. You can always buy your flavoring syrup but if you want to make it from scratch, here's a simple recipe.

What you'll need:

• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Squeeze bottle or jar

How to Make it:

1. Mix it

In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together your water and sugar. Stir until the sugar is combined.

2. Boil it

Bring this to a boil and allow to boil for 1 minute. Turn down the stove to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened to a more syrup-like consistency. Make sure to stir enough that the sugar doesn't stick to the pan.

3. Cool

Remove your saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes.

4. Add the flavor

Add the peppermint extract and mix thoroughly.

5. Store it

Transfer your syrup into your squeeze bottle or jar. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
