Miso Caramel Coffee Syrup
Miso caramel coffee syrup is a unique spin off of traditional salted caramel. It's a rich amber toasted caramel syrup laced with fragrant vanilla and a hint of miso for a delightful umami undertone. If you are looking for the perfect companion for a cozy coffee or tea latte, this is it!
Ingredients
- 1½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1½ tsp white miso paste alternatively you can add 2 teaspoons of soy sauce
- 1½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Combine sugar and one cup of water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium high heat to a gentle boil. Once the sugar is dissolved, continue to boil for 18-20 minutes until your caramel reaches a light golden/amber color. This depends on your burner so stay nearby to make sure it doesn't burn!
- Dissolve the miso paste with remaining 1 cup of water. Use oven mitts to protect your hands for this next bit as it will splatter. Pour the miso mixture through a strainer into the caramel syrup. If any syrup hardens, whisk and return to heat until it dissolves. Add the vanilla and allow to cool before storing in an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator for about 2-3 weeks. To use in coffee, one tablespoon is roughly equal to one traditional pump of syrup. Enjoy!
