    This Coconut Simple Syrup came about because I wanted to make coconut kombucha, but the fat content did not agree with the kombucha scoby so that was a no-go.

    Instead I decided to make a Coconut Bubble Tea, which I'll post next week.

    You can use this simple syrup recipe for coffee, tea, cocktails, or club soda. With only three ingredients, it is an easy way to add the tropics to your favorite drinks.

    You could also pour it on pancakes, ice cream, or other desserts. Other simple syrup recipes are my Homemade Vanilla Simple Syrup recipe and Elderflower Simple Syrup recipe.

    Other coconut recipes to try are my Coconut Lemonade, Coconut Bacon, and Vegan Strawberries and Coconut Cream.
