This Starbucks Caramel Syrup Copycat recipe is so yummy! The best caramel flavor and so easy to make. The perfect recipe to make at home and even better than Torani and da Vinci.
Heat water, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium/ medium high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then no longer.
Bring water and sugars to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from heat (still no stirring). Allow to cool 1-2 minutes, then stir in the vanilla. Allow to cool to room temperature then transfer to a jar or other container and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Make sure to use a high quality pure vanilla, as one of the highlighted flavors in caramel is vanilla.
If you like a deeper, richer flavor use dark brown sugar instead of light. We tested it with dark brown and really enjoyed the flavor, but opted for light brown for a more classic taste for this recipe.
Make sure to include the regular granulated sugar- it is essential in helping the syrup keep it's form.
Allow to cool completely at room temperature then transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
To make thicker for pancakes and desserts, double the sugars and make as directed.
