Coffee Syrup

I love coffee. Not just hot coffee, but cold and frozen coffee drinks, coffee candy, coffee baked goods, my coffee rub, I can go on and on. It is the deep, earthy smell and the taste of good coffee that makes me smile. This coffee syrup is so simple to make and very versatile. Use good-quality ground coffee and not instant coffee for best results. Once made, store the syrup in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and use to flavor milk, baked goods, in cocktails, or over pancakes.
