Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons white food coloring *see notes
Instructions
- In a small or medium pot over high heat, add the coconut milk, sugar, and water. Cook for 5 minutes and stir constantly for the first 2 minutes, or until you can no longer feel the sugar at the bottom of the pan.
- Let it simmer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the food coloring and the coconut extract.
- Allow it to cool before storing. Use an airtight container to store it, like a glass bottle, and keep it in the fridge. ¡Enjoy and buen provecho!
Notes
- Sugar-free coconut syrup- To make a sugar free version just remove the white sugar and use granulated stevia or splenda. Use half of what the recipes calls for sugar.
- Coconut milk- Use canned coconut milk for a creamy consistency. If you use coconut milk that comes in a carton, it will be too watery.
- Food coloring- I used it so the syrup can look whiter. If you don't have any, or don't want to, just skip this step.
- Yield- This recipe makes 2 ¼ cups of syrup.
- Storing- Use any airtight bottle or jar. Store in your fridge for up to 2 weeks.
