This cane sugar syrup recipe is the easiest way to sweeten a variety of cocktails, coffees, and teas. With just two simple ingredients, cane syrup provides smooth sweetness without masking the flavor of your drink. It\u2019s perfect for all kinds of beverages, but we especially love using it in cold drinks, like Iced Matcha Lattes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We almost always have a homemade simple syrup on hand at our house. It makes it easier to resist the trip to the coffee shop when you know you can make your favorite drink easily at home. We started with our vanilla simple syrup<\/strong><\/a>, then branched out to lavender simple syrup<\/strong><\/a> and brown sugar cinnamon syrup<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I like to think of cane simple syrup as the grandfather of all them. This is the base formula that works on its own or can be used as a jumping off point for all the other flavor varieties you can imagine.<\/p>\n

If you want the flavor of your drink to shine, be it the fresh herbs in mint tea<\/strong><\/a> or the floral and citrus notes of a gin fizz<\/strong><\/a>, cane sugar syrup is the way to go. This simple recipe is a staple in our fridge year round, and perfect for making your own coffee shop drinks, sweetened just to your liking.<\/p>\n

What is cane sugar?<\/h2>\n
\"Three\"Three<\/figure>\n

Cane sugar is the sugar crystals derived from the sugarcane plant. Cane sugar can refer to raw sugars like turbinado and demerara or refined sugars like granulated sugar or powdered sugar. Raw forms of cane sugar have a light brown color, subtle molasses flavor, and larger crystals. Granulated sugar has fine, white crystals with very little molasses flavor.<\/p>\n

Raw or granulated sugar can be used to make cane sugar syrup. In this recipe, I\u2019ll be using cane sugar, but any of the sugars you see pictured here will work. I prefer to save the more expensive raw sugars, like turbinado, for other uses where the larger crystals really shine\u2013like adding a shimmery crunch to the tops of Orange Poppy Seed Muffins<\/strong><\/a> or Blueberry Rhubarb Pie<\/strong><\/a>. That said, you can use whichever option best fits your lifestyle and budget.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in simple syrup?<\/h2>\n

Basic simple syrup is just two ingredients: water and sugar at a 1:1 ratio. This ratio provides a good amount of sweetness without watering down your drinks.<\/p>\n

Simple syrups can be infused with all sorts of other flavors or be made with other sweeteners, like our Honey Simple Syrup<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pure cane syrup can be infused with all sorts of other flavors, including fresh herbs, vanilla beans, orange peel or whole spices, like cinnamon or clove. Feel free to experiment with some of your favorites, or try one of our favorites, Lavender Syrup<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
