Notes
- Brown sugar: We use Light brown sugar, but you could use Dark brown sugar instead. Dark brown sugar has more molasses, so will have a slightly more intense taste and color. (Although the difference will be minor when you're just using a small amount of syrup).
- Serving suggestions: Use this brown sugar simple syrup in cocktails, mocktails, iced coffee, iced tea lattes, as a maple syrup alternative, and so much more!
