We ran out of syrup one day, so I decided to improvise. After trying this syrup we can't go back to store bought (which is great because it costs pennies to make!)
1 cup milk
1 T white vinegar
1/2 cup butter
1-2 cup(s) sugar
1 T corn syrup (optional)
1 t vanilla
1 t baking soda
Combine milk and vinegar and let sit 5 or 10 minutes (this is a cheap substitute for buttermilk).
In a medium sauce pan, bring milk mixture, butter, sugar, and corn syrup just to a boil. Remove from heat and add vanilla and, my favorite part, the baking soda (it foams because of its reaction to the vinegar).
This syrup is a little bit runny, if you have any suggestions on how to thicken it, please let me know! Refrigerate the leftovers. Microwave for 1-2 minutes to reheat.

you can try boiling it longer (1-2 min) to thicken it. also, 1 tsp. of coconut extract added right before the baking soda is really good!
