Sometimes I catch myself laughing at how much I love anything almond. For instance, almond cakes, almond cookies, and of course, almond in my coffee. Yesterday, I even wrote about the hot version of an almond latte (you can check it out here: almond latte). But with summer heat rolling in, the last thing I…
Ever had one of those moments where you realize you’ve been skipping over the most important part? That happened to me recently. I just finished writing about how to make an almond latte, but then it hit me… what about the almond syrup? It’s the real base of the flavor. In other words, the thing…
With so many flavors and variations, it’s easy to skip over some truly delicious ones. That happened to me here on Coffee Voilà. I’ve shared recipes for all kinds of drinks, but I realized I forgot to mention one I make from time to time. And honestly, it’s one of my favorites. Probably because I’ve…
This week has been all about sugar-free syrups. Earlier, I shared my take on a rich and buttery Caramel Syrup, and now I’ve got hazelnut on my mind.

Ever feel like you’re missing out on all the coffee fun just because you’re skipping sugar? This past month or so, I’ve been knee-deep in syrup testing.

A few weeks back, I put together a full guide on how to make the classic recipe with sugar, and it was a hit. But I haven’t forgotten about the folks who either can’t have sugar or don’t want the crash that comes with it. I get it! Sometimes you want all that warm, fragrant…
Struggling to sweeten cold drinks without the gritty mess? I’ve been there. So let’s talk about the most basic fix—simple syrup. It’s one of those kitchen staples that seems fancy until you try it. And then you’re like… wait, that’s it? The first time I decided to make simple syrup at home, I was shocked…
Struggling to sweeten your drinks without sugar? You’re not alone. This month, I’ve been deep in syrup mode testing, tweaking, and even putting together a full guide on 11 Homemade Coffee Syrup Recipes. But somewhere between the brown sugar and caramel experiments, I realized… not everyone wants or can have sugar in their cup. Perhaps,…
Love pumpkin spice season but tired of overpriced café drinks and mystery ingredients? I used to mostly buy my syrups and honestly, I still do sometimes when I’m feeling lazy or need a quick fix. You have brands like Monin and Torani that have their place (that Monin Pumpkin Spice is solid). However, when I’ve…
Are you tired of your usual coffee routine? I get it. Lately, I’ve been going nuts testing all sorts of coffee recipes. I’ve been trying to break out of the same old cappuccino loop. One that caught my eye (and palate) was spiced Moroccan coffee. A barista friend brewed me a cup at his place,…
