You will be able to make around 10 drinks with this apple syrup. Keep the syrup covered in the fridge and it will keep well for 1 to 2 weeks.

Yes! I sometimes like to drizzle a little caramel sauce on top of the coffee, or, you could mix in a couple of tablespoons with the milk and apple syrup.

You can use dairy or plant based milk to make this drink. Almond, oat milk, and soy all work well.

Instructions
For the Apple Syrup
Combine the diced apple, apple cider, water, brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan set over medium heat.

Really easy to make and smells so good. BUT do NOT throw out the apple leftovers. It made a really good chunky applesauce.

Hi Jackie, the ingredient called for is apple cider, not apple cider vinegar! Apple cider is unfiltered apple juice!
