Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (227 grams) water
1 cup, packed (213 grams) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Stovetop Method

Combine the brown sugar and water in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook just long enough for the sugar to dissolve completely into the hot water, stirring often - this should take about 5 minutes. Do not simmer or boil.
Remove from heat, add optional vanilla extract, and allow to cool to room temperature before using.

Microwave Method

Combine brown sugar and water in a measuring glass and stir to combine. Microwave for 60 seconds.
Stir again, microwaving for additional 30 second increments as needed to ensure all of the sugar has completely dissolved. Again, don’t let the mixture come to a boil! Add vanilla extract (if using) and allow to cool.

No-Cook Method

Combine the brown sugar, room-temperature water, and (optionally) vanilla extract in a glass bottle or jar. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved completely. The mixture may look cloudy at first, but should clear up after it’s had time to sit.

Notes

Rich Brown Sugar Simple Syrup

Make a "rich" syrup by using 2 parts brown sugar to 1 part water.

Storage and Shelf Life

Once cool, store syrup in an airtight jar or other container in the refrigerator.
Syrup made using the stovetop or microwave method should keep for about 1 month. Syrup made without heat will keep for about 2 weeks. Rich brown sugar syrup will keep for 3-6 months.
