When it gets cold outside nothing makes me happier then drinking a tall glass of hot coffee with peppermint in it. I used to scour store shelves for when the Peppermint syrup came on sale or buy the Peppermint Creamers in the dairy aisle. That was until I figured out just how easy making a simple syrup for my coffee truly was. The basis for this syrup can be made with any flavors you wish and can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container up to 6 months.
Simple Syrup
===================
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tbsp Flavoring of your choosing
*you can add more for a stronger flavor
Pour sugar and water mixture into a pot and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture translucent. Remove from Heat and let cool. While cooling add your flavoring stir well. Once completely cooled store transfer to container or your choosing and keep in the fridge. That's it your done. Recipe makes roughly 1 1/2 cups.
Side Note: You can add cinnamon sticks, vanilla bean, citrus peel etc.... to infuse flavoring in the cooling mixture just make sure to remove before pouring into bottles.
