Homemade Flavored Coffee Syrups (Recipes for Instant Coffee) | Vanilla, Cinnamon, Chocolate, Caramel

If you drink instant coffee but want it to feel a little more special, these homemade flavored coffee syrups are the easiest way to upgrade your daily cup—without expensive coffee shop syrups or artificial ingredients.
In this video, I’m demonstrating four simple coffee syrup recipes made with just water, sugar, and real flavoring. These syrups are perfect for instant coffee, iced coffee, lattes, or even drizzling over desserts.
✨ Homemade Coffee Syrup Base Recipe
All of these syrups start with the same simple base:
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
Heat gently in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Then add your flavoring.

☕ Vanilla Coffee Syrup
A classic, clean flavor that works with any coffee.
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1–2 teaspoons real vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, then cool and store.

☕ Brown Sugar Cinnamon Syrup
Warm, cozy, and perfect for fall—or anytime.
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cinnamon stick
Simmer for 5 minutes, remove cinnamon stick, and let cool.

☕ Chocolate Coffee Syrup
Turns instant coffee into a quick homemade mocha.
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• ¼ cup cocoa powder (adjust to taste)
Whisk well while simmering to avoid lumps, then cool.

☕ Caramel Coffee Syrup
Rich, buttery, and coffee-shop worthy.
• 1 cup sugar (heated until melted and amber)
• Carefully add 1 cup water
Stir gently until smooth and fully combined.

🫙 Storage Tips
Store your homemade syrups in glass jars or bottles in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
