Is this coffee syrup recipe vegan or vegetarian?

Question

I would like to know whether this coffee syrup recipe is vegan or just vegetarian. Below is the recipe:

Coffee syrup ingredients:
2 cups of sugar
1 cup of coffee

Directions:
Put the sugar into the coffee

Boil the mixture untill it reaches a thick syrup state

To make into a liquid coffee put 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup into hot water and stir until it completely dissolves

Answer 1

Based on what can be seen in the recipe it might well be vegan as there are no visible animal ingredients used.

The one problem that can render it non-vegan (and arguably even non-vegetarian) would be the sugar that you use to make the syrup. During the production of sugar, bone char of animals is sometimes used and this makes the sugar non-vegan and non-vegetarian. If youwant to use sugar that would not use bone char, I suggest you to have a look at the answers to this question.

To conclude, the recipe in itself is clearly vegan but make sure you use the right sugar. I hope you'll enjoy the coffee syrup :).
