Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Granulated white sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Pure maple extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated white sugar, and brown sugar. Stir to mix well.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until the sugars have completely dissolved.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the syrup from sticking to the pan.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the pure maple extract and vanilla extract (if using) and mix well to combine.

Step 6

Let the syrup cool to room temperature. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Transfer the syrup to a glass jar or a heat-safe container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Before serving, reheat gently if needed. Enjoy over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or as a sweetener in your favorite recipes.
