Cupcake Coffee Syrup

I’ve been really interested in making my own coffee syrups and lattes at home to save money. I made an eggnog syrup over Christmas and a Chocolate Chip Cookies syrup recently. This syrup can be made in less than 5 minutes!

I can now sneak cupcakes into my breakfast so I’m really happy! A cupcake latte will cheer anyone that’s having a bad day at work up!
