Ingredients

2 cups brewed coffee (your choice of medium roast)

4 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, based on preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk (whole, almond, or oat milk for a dairy-free option)

A pinch of sea salt

Optional: whipped cream for topping

Optional: cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee using your preferred method (drip, French press, or pour-over).

Prepare the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Once dissolved, remove it from the heat.

Mix in Flavorings: Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the warm brown sugar syrup and stir well to combine.

Froth the Milk: In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the milk until hot but not boiling. If you have a frother, this is the perfect time to froth the milk until creamy. Alternatively, you can use a whisk or a jar to shake the milk vigorously to create foam.

Combine Coffee and Syrup: In your favorite coffee mug, pour the freshly brewed coffee. Add the brown sugar syrup, stirring to blend the flavors together.

Add the Milk: Pour the frothed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam using a spoon to allow it to layer nicely. Spoon some of the foam on top.

Garnish and Serve: If desired, top with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your rich and sweet Brown Sugar Coffee!
