"Sometimes you just want to add a little sugar to your coffee. If you're trying to cut out granulated sugar and are sick of all those little artificial sweetener packets, it might be time to test out a more natural option. Honey is always good, as is agave syrup, but if you really want a delicious cup of coffee, then you need to start adding a little maple syrup to your morning brew."
"Maple syrup not only sweetens coffee, it also adds a delicious caramel-like flavor that helps balance out any bitterness in the beans. The buttery texture of the syrup can also improve the mouthfeel of the drink, transforming it from an average cup' of Joe to a silky, smooth, delicious sweet treat. An added bonus is that maple syrup dissolves easily -- making it a great addition for your iced coffee drinks too."
"Some people think that flavors infuse into coffee better if you add the syrup first. But because maple syrup dissolves so easily, you can just stir it into your coffee like any other sweetener. Less than a teaspoon of syrup should do it, but it's really up to preference. If you usually add a lot of sugar to your coffee, then you might want to be more generous, as the warmth of the maple syrup makes its sweetness much more gentle."
Maple syrup sweetens coffee while contributing caramel-like, warm flavors and a buttery texture that improves mouthfeel and balances bean bitterness. The syrup dissolves easily, making it suitable for both hot and iced coffee. Maple syrup is commonly paired with coffee in regions with abundant maple trees, where its rich flavors create a seasonal or fall twist. Use a splash or less than a teaspoon to start, increasing to taste for those accustomed to more sugar. Maple syrup pairs especially well with darker, chocolate-scented or spicy roasts and can highlight complementary tasting notes in bolder coffees.
