Notes
- Sugar free syrup de crema- Instead of white sugar, you can use granulated stevia or splenda. Use half of the sugar needed in the recipe.
- Vanilla extract- You can also use a vanilla bean. Just adding in while the milk is cooking.
- Food coloring- I used ¼ teaspoon, but you can use way less. The amount is just a preference.
- 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.
- Freezing- You can freeze this recipe, and it will last 3 months in the freezer. Just make sure to use a freezer -safe bottle or jar and make sure to leave enough space for the liquid to expand once frozen.
