Put water and sugar in a kettle. Heat to boiling over medium high heat on your range top. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes (this washes sugar crystals off of the side of the pan and will cut down on crystallization). Stir in your flavoring, a teaspoon at first and add a little more at a time until it is as strong as you desire. Cool and put in a cute bottle or even vinegar carafe. Use this in your coffee to give it that coffee house flavoring. Yum. It would be a good idea to store this in the refrigerator if you are not going to consume it all in one day - which you might, because it is so easy to make and so good that you will want to call all of your friends together to sample your genius cooking skills. Sometimes I have to add up to a tablespoon of flavoring, depending on its strength. For super concentrated flavorings like Lorann, use only 1/8 teaspoon or a few drops at a time and taste after each addition. *Vanilla and caramel flavoring are nice together. Rum and butter flavoring would be good too. So would almond and chocolate. Cinnamon and vanilla, raspberry and chocolate. Use what you have and get creative.

I use extracts for coffee flavoring. I use an eye dropper to measure. So, once your coffee is made, including regular flavor coffeemate (or nonfat powdered milk - just double the amount if using) and sweetener of your choice, add one drop per cup of coffee for your flavor. I use french vanilla, almond extract for "Amaretto" flavor, hot chocolate for "Mocha".
Add xanthan or guam gum, thickens up.
I do a sugar free way with artificial sugars - add vanilla.
Sugar free vanilla syrup :)
