Shortbread Latte

Directions

How to make shortbread syrup

1. In a small pot on low heat, bring sugar and water to a simmer. Stir or whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved. 
2. As the sugar and water simmer, the mixture will reduce to half the original volume. At this point, add your vanilla and butter extracts.
3. Stir in the extracts for a couple of minutes so the flavors can mingle. Then remove the pot from heat.
4. Let the syrup cool for 15 minutes before transferring it into an airtight bottle for storage.
