Ingredients
Instructions
- Stir together white syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, water, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and slowly bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Let boil for 5 minutes. Add maple flavoring to taste.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light; it adds more depth. If you don't have white syrup, corn syrup or agave syrup can be good substitutes. Adjust the amount of maple flavoring based on your preference, as some brands are stronger than others. Stir consistently to prevent burning while bringing the mixture to a boil.
