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 coffeeDirections:
Put the sugar into the coffeeBoil 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
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 :).
