Ever bought those flavoured syrups for your coffee? I've started making my own for just a few pence.
Take equal volumes of brown sugar and water, boil it up till all the sugar dissolves, let it cool a bit and then add some vanilla essence, or whatever flavouring you like.
The syrup on the left of the above photo was purchased from Tesco for £3.25 and the one on the right is my own, which cost half a cup of Demerara sugar and 10 minutes of hob gas - literally pence.
Avoid using ground spices, such as cinnamon or the like, as it sinks to the bottom and makes the resultant syrup murky.

Thanks - good tip but I don't put syrup in coffee - I just like the coffee as it is x
