Make your own Salted Caramel Syrup for coffee, chai, and matcha at home! It’s so much cheaper, easy to make and you’ll only need 3 ingredients. You’ll love it!

I think it’s absolutely crazy that caramel syrup is so expensive in the stores because the ingredients to make it at home come to under 1$. And it’s not much work either. It stores in the fridge for weeks and months.

So this (Salted) Caramel Syrup goes straight onto my list of things I’ll never buy again and rather make myself instead.

With the temperatures dropping, I’ve slowly switched from my Cold Brew to warm mocaccinos, cappuccinos, chais, and matcha lattes. It’s the perfect afternoon treat while doing some puzzles or reading.

Lately, I’ve been dabbling more into making my own syrups like this Vanilla Syrup that I published a few months ago.

So this time, I’ve made my own super easy, homemade Salted Caramel Syrup.

What I love about this caramel syrup is that

you only need three ingredients
you only need 15 minutes
such much cheaper than store-bought
and it stores forever in the fridge

This Salted Caramel Syrup really brings the cappuccino/latte game to the next level! I love the slight saltiness, this makes it so much more interesting. I add about 1-2 teaspoons of syrup.

How to make Salted Caramel Syrup

The Ingredients & possible substitutes

You’ll only need 3 ingredients:

Ingredients

▢ 1 cup white sugar
▢ 1/2 teaspoon salt
▢ 1 cup boiling hot water

Instructions

Add the sugar into a pot and bring it to high heat. Keep stirring while the sugar melts and caramelizes. Once all the clumps are gone, remove the pot from the heat.
Add the salt.
Then carefully add boiling hot water. It sizzles a lot, so do it slowly.
Give it stir. If you still have sugar clumps, bring it back to heat. Otherwise, you're good to fill it into glass bottles. But be very careful because it's very, very hot.
Then you can store it in the fridge and use it in your coffee, chai, matcha, etc!
