If you know me at all, and some of you do from Facebook, you know how much I love coffee! So, this lead to pondering the idea of making a coffee syrup for ice cream, the notion woke me up better than a cup of joe! So, I hopped on the information highway and found a exit for a easy recipe that filled the house with a triple shot aroma of java juice! Ok, enough with the fancy talk, but really, this recipe is so easy, turns your home into a coffee house scent that Glade should invent and just the right treat on a bowl of chocolate ice cream on a warm evening.......but beware, the sugar content is high so save this for a special occasion!
Coffee Syrup
Place enough coffee and water to make 6 servings in your drip coffeemaker. Brew then cool a bit. Replace coffee in filter with fresh grounds but use the brewed coffee to pour back into the coffee maker making this batch double strength. Repeat this process for a third time making it triple strength.
Measure the amount of brewed coffee and add half as much sugar, for example, if you have 5 cups of brewed coffee, add 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Stir directly into brewed coffee while still hot to melt the sugar, store in airtight container and keep in fridge, for up too 2 months. Enjoy!
Just think, now you can have a sweet fix over ice cream or even used in milkshakes or cold coffee drinks, who says the summer is too hot for coffee, not me!
Oooo, great idea! I found chocolate extract (and coffee extract) at the farmers market. I wonder what your recipe would taste like with a little chocolate extract in it???
ReplyDeleteIn high school my hubby worked in his uncle's ice cream shop. To make coffee syrup, they would take a jar of instant espresso and pour the jar 1/2 full with boiling water and then sweeten to taste and put the lid back on the jar, shake and store in the frig. Pour on ice cream as desired...it is GREAT poured over chocolate ice cream.
