Ingredients

Scale

Syrups:

  • 3 cups water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup simple syrup
  • 1/4 cup dulce de leche

Other Ingredients:

  • Handful of ice cubes
  • 2 espresso shots
  • 1/2 cup milk (2% or preferred type)

Instructions

  1. For syrups

    Prepare in advance: Bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a boil in a large pot on the stove. Boil for 1 minute, then divide 2 cups of the simple syrup among 2 heat-safe mason jars (1 cup of syrup in each jar).

  2. Stir cocoa powder into 1 mason jar to make the chocolate syrup, then stir vanilla extract into another to make the vanilla syrup.
  3. With the remaining simple syrup left in the pot on the stove, stir in the dulce de leche. Pour this syrup into a third mason jar.

    You may want to turn the heat back on the stove and stir to ensure the dulce de leche gets dissolved.

  4. Let all 3 syrups cool for 30 minutes before using. Syrups can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.
  5. For drinks

    Brew espresso shots using an espresso maker. Add ice to a large glass, then pour espresso shots and milk over top. Add in 1-2 tbsp syrup of your choice. Serve and enjoy!

  6. To make the macchiato:

    Add syrup to the bottom of a glass, top with ice, add milk and then slowly pour espresso shots over the top of a spoon to create that layered effect. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less syrup to your taste.
  • Experiment with different flavored syrups for unique variations.
