I have found no good coffee syrups on the market.
Here's my coffee syrup recipe (I make about 1/2 gallon at a time):

Brew a half-pot of good medium-roast, high body coffee using a full pot's worth of fresh ground beans.
4 cups strong coffee
8 cups sugar
Add the sugar to the hot coffee in a saucepot. Bring to a boil and let bubble for 15 seconds, remove from heat and stir.

TL;DR version: 2 sugar : 1 strong coffee

p.s. if you make the coffee the day before, all the better. The top notes that disappear when coffee goes sitting aren't wanted in this syrup, just those lovely dark, rich 'bottom' bass notes.

p.p.s this is also a great use for that coffee you make in the morning and you have to toss when you get home from work :wink:
