A delightful homemade syrup to enhance your coffee with the rich flavors of almond and vanilla.
Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes.
Simmering allows the syrup to thicken slightly and develop a smooth texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool slightly.
Cooling prevents the extracts from evaporating too quickly when added.
Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined.
Add the extracts gradually and taste to adjust the flavor to your preference.
Transfer the syrup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
Use a funnel to pour the syrup into the container without spilling.
