It’s no secret that I love coffee. I have tried to give it up or at least cut back to one cup a day instead of two, but I can’t. I used to feel some measure of guilt about loving coffee so much, but I don’t anymore. I feel like coffee is something that the Lord has blessed to bring a little joy to my mornings, which tend to be the some of the most hectic times in my day. Waking up to children who need to be fed, bathed, dressed, changed, and ten other things…isn’t easy. I’m sure you can relate.
So I need coffee. My husband knows it, and he makes my first cup just about every single morning. He does a great job, too. π I normally have coffee with a little vanilla almond milk and nothing else. It took a little time for me to get used to drinking it that way, but my taste buds have been trained. And I enjoy it.
However, there are times when I like to enjoy delicious coffeehouse style coffee at home. I’ve experimented quite a bit over the years with different recipes, and some have turned out to be winners. The only issue I have with the recipes is that they require so many additional ingredients. Ingredients like sugar, brown sugar, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, chocolate syrup, etc… Then there’s the time involved in making my extra-special cups of coffee. It can be a bit of a process to make a homemade latte.
Enter Torani syrups.
Torani syrups have made it so easy for me to enjoy coffeehouse style coffee in minutes and without a bunch of ingredients.
The taste? So good. This picture pretty much sums things up.
The bonus is that Torani syrups aren’t just for coffee. You can use them to create new dishes and desserts for your family. I decided to try the peppermint syrup in our brownies. The result was delicious peppermint brownies! The peppermint in the brownies was not overpowering. It was just the right amount for our family’s taste buds. I’m going to post the recipe to the peppermint brownies here on The Sensible Mom next week.
Overall, I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed trying the Torani syrups, and I’m glad to have found a new favorite brand of syrups.

I love coffee and have always wanted to try adding my own flavors!!
Hi Gina! These syrups are truly the best I’ve had outside of the coffee shops. I’ve bought caramel syrup before at the grocery store, and it did not even come close to being as good as the Torani.
I used these syrups in hot chocolate and in making our own Italian sodas too. All the favors we have tried have been very good. I don’t drink coffee but I do also enjoy these flavored syrups in steamed almond or soy milk. I may have to pick up a new flavor to try when I shop next.
Hi Shelly! Thank you for sharing how your family uses the syrups! I think using them in our hot chocolate this winter is a great idea that I think my kids would really enjoy. π
Love my morning coffee! The sugar Free Torani syrups rock my world. Never thought to add to recipes. Great idea
Hi Angie! Yes, adding the syrups to recipes was something I wouldn’t have thought to try at first. But we got great results. π
