How long does homemade brown sugar syrup last?

Thicker syrup: For a thicker consistency perfect for drizzling over pancakes, use a 2:1 ratio (1 cup brown sugar to ½ cup water) and simmer for an extra 2 to 3 minutes.
Flavor variations: Add 2 cinnamon sticks while heating (remove before storing), or stir in ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or a pinch of pumpkin spice after removing from heat. Or, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract while heating.
Sugar substitutions: Light brown sugar creates a more delicate flavor; dark brown sugar has a more robust taste. For a sugar-free version, you can try monk fruit brown sugar or brown erythritol blend in the same ratio.
Microwave method: Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second intervals until dissolved.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
