Made with just three ingredients, this refreshing syrup adds the perfect peppermint touch to mochas, cold brews, and more. Plus, you can customize it for a sugar-free option, making it an affordable and flavorful addition to your coffee routine.
Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often.
Once boiling, lower the heat to medium low and let simmer for 7-10 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the heat, add in the peppermint extract, and stir to combine.
Let the peppermint syrup cool completely before transferring to an airtight container, and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Notes
For a stronger peppermint flavor, use a full teaspoon of peppermint extract. For a less intense peppermint flavor, use 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
