Create coffeehouse coffees at home with fun recipes like this one. Perfect to have on hand for your next brunch.
I have been craving a delicious coconut mocha iced coffee from my favorite coffee house. However, we are trying to save money, so I have been trying to recreate all my favorites at home. To create this delicious coffee, you must first have coconut syrup — and that is what I have to share with you today.
Normally I use Monin Coconut Syrup or Torani syrup (they always have free shipping on their site), but now that I know how easy it is to make at home, I just make it with a small list of simple ingredients that I pick up at the local grocery store.
So, let me show you how easy it is to make.
How to Make Homemade Coconut Syrup
In a small saucepan, add a cup of sugar (you can also use pure cane sugar) and 1 cup of water. Boil the water until the sugar dissolves. Turn to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the stove and add one can of full-flavored coconut milk. This will enhance the coconut flavor. Mix well and then place the simple syrup recipe in a mason jar and place it in the fridge. Coconut milk is different from coconut cream so don't get the two confused.
It will last for one month in the fridge.
This makes enough for about 2 jars full of syrup so you will have plenty for leftovers.
I serve our Coconut Latte in these super cute glasses I found on Amazon. Then add some whipped topping and toasted coconut flakes to the top. Making coffee at home doesn't have to be hard at all.
