Step-by-step Instructions

Homemade syrup in a saucepan placed on a marble surface.

Step 1: Combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream or milk in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat, add the vanilla extract, and mix well until well combined. Allow the syrup to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.

💡 Pro Tip: This mocha coffee syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a week! Use it in other flavored coffee recipes like lattes and frappés.
