This recipe is divine! I don’t put anything sweet in my coffee but my 20yo daughter loves it. And I love when she saves her money from the frufru coffee shops. Winning.

Glad she likes it!

This is delicious!
Just an FYI: this made about 14 oz. of syrup.
With a shot of espresso and 4 oz. of foamed milk, I used 3 T.
Which is perfect for me who always asks for one less of however many pumps Starbucks puts in their hot drinks. Not overly sweet.
It was sweet enough with 2 ? But the white chocolate flavor was much more subtle.
I have it chilling in my fridge and it’s way better than any store bought White Chocolate Syrups that I have tried.
