If you’re making syrup for pancakes or waffles, there’s a good chance you’re working with a specific quantity. Syrup is not something most people tend to have left over in their fridge, and it also doesn’t store particularly well once opened. Keeping the syrup stored in individual glass bottles can help avoid an excess of syrup that goes bad before you finish it. It’s also nice to give your guests some variety with different flavors of syrup. Amber glass bottles are perfect for storing syrups because they protect them from light and preserve their flavors without impacting the taste in any way. Here is a quick guide on how to make your own DIY syrup using amber glass bottles and easy recipes, so that you can give your guests a variety of delicious syrups.
Tips for Making Syrup
For syrup, you’ll want to use granulated sugar, not brown sugar or honey. Granulated sugar comes in large, uniformly-sized granules without any clumps. This ensures that the syrup will mix well with your other ingredients and have a consistent flavor and texture throughout. Make sure that you’re using pure maple syrup if you want to make maple syrup. Maple syrup is made by boiling maple trees, so it’s a natural product. If you use artificial maple syrup, your syrup will taste extremely fake and nothing like real maple syrup. For the best texture and consistency, be sure to bring your syrup to a boil and let it boil for one minute. It’s important that the syrup is at a full rolling boil in order to yield the best results.
Vanilla Syrup
Making vanilla syrup is a great way to use extra vanilla extract that you may have lying around. There’s no need to buy new vanilla extract for this recipe—you can use it straight off the existing bottle. For this syrup, you’ll need: – 1 cup of sugar – 1/2 cup of water – 1/2 cup of vanilla extract Add all three ingredients to a saucepan, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Let the mixture boil for one minute, then take it off the heat and let it cool for about an hour. Once the syrup has cooled, you can pour it into bottles.
Blueberry Syrup
Blueberry syrup is great on pancakes and waffles, as well as on top of ice cream. You can make it sweeter than vanilla syrup if you want, or you can use less sugar if you want to keep it healthier. – 1 cup of sugar – 1/2 cup of water – 1 cup of blueberries – 1/2 cup of lemon juice Add all the ingredients to a saucepan, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Let the mixture boil for one minute, then take it off the heat and let it cool for about an hour. Once the syrup has cooled, you can pour it into bottles.
Maple Syrup
Maple syrup is a classic syrup that can be used in any recipe or eaten on its own as a topping or drizzle. You can make it with real maple syrup or with a maple syrup substitute. – 1 cup of sugar – 1/2 cup of water – 2 cups of maple syrup – 1/2 cup of lemon juice Add all the ingredients to a saucepan, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Let the mixture boil for one minute, then take it off the heat and let it cool for about an hour. Once the syrup has cooled, you can pour it into bottles.
Strawberry Syrup
Strawberry syrup is perfect on pancakes and waffles, but you can also use it as a topping on ice cream, crepes, and more. You can make it sweeter than vanilla syrup if you want, or you can use less sugar if you want to keep it healthier. – 1 cup of sugar – 1/2 cup of water – 1 cup of strawberries – 1/2 cup of lemon juice – 1/2 cup of water Add all the ingredients to a saucepan, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Let the mixture boil for one minute, then take it off the heat and let it cool for about an hour. Once the syrup has cooled, you can pour it into bottles.
Conclusion
Syrup is an excellent topping to use in many ways, and it’s also a great way to use up extra vanilla extract. If you’re making syrup, be sure to use granulated sugar, not brown sugar or honey. You can make vanilla, blueberry, maple, and strawberry syrup at home using normal ingredients you can find anywhere.
