Homemade caramel syrup is surprisingly easy to make and tastes richer than many store-bought versions. It combines the deep flavor of caramelized sugar with a smooth, pourable consistency that dissolves beautifully into hot or iced coffee. Stored in the refrigerator, it keeps well for several weeks.
