Description
This Butter Pecan Syrup is a delicious homemade syrup for lattes but you can also use it in cocktails, mocktails, and more! It's perfect for fall and winter and it tastes just like the toffee nut syrup from Starbucks.

- 1 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup raw pecans, finely chopped
- 1 1/4 cup water

- 1/2 tsp butter extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Add brown sugar, finely chopped pecans, and water to a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer stirring constantly until the sugar melts to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- Simmer the syrup for 10 minutes.
- Take the syrup off the heat and stir in sea salt, vanilla extract, and butter extract. Let it cool for 10-20 minutes.
- Strain the syrup into a bowl or a large measuring cup through a fine mesh strainer.
- Transfer the syrup to an airtight glass jar and store in the fridge until ready to use. Close with a lid once cool.
Notes
Store the syrup in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months when frozen properly. I like to store syrups in small plastic containers and measure 2-4 servings per container so I know exactly how much I need to defrost.
