Coffee Syrup

Coffee Syrup is easy to make and it is handy to have around. You can use it to flavor frosting and cakes or to create drinks with. A really fantastic way to make an Italian Soda, for example, is to put 2 tablespoons coffee syrup in a fluted glass. Add Club soda and finish with a dollop of whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa.

Yum.

You can also make a coffee drink like chocolate milk by adding coffee syrup (to taste) to a glass of milk  and stirring well. I shouldn’t have to mention homemade coffee milkshakes, homemade coffee flavored coke, or any of the other million ideas that are coursing through the corridors of my mind right now, right?

Check it out. It keeps in the fridge for two weeks or so.
