====Carob Syrup====
Date added: 2021/03/13

Similar to chocolate syrup, but caffeine free and with a slightly more fruity flavor, and can be made from domestic ingredients.

===Ingredients===
  *¾ Cup Water
  *¾ Cup Carob Powder
  *1 ½ Cup Sugar
  *1 Tbs Corn Syrup
  *1 Tbs Vanilla
  *1 pinch salt

===Method===
  -Add sugar, salt, corn syrup, and water to a saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
  -Whisk carob power into boiling mixture until smooth, then reduce heat to medium.
  -Whisk until similar in texture to a thin chocolate syrup, and remove from heat.  It will thicken slightly as it cools.
  -Once syrup is below ~165°F (the boiling point of alcohol is 173.1°F), stir vanilla into the mixture.
  -After syrup is below ~140°F pour into a reused squeeze bottle or jar of your choice.

Once your syrup is done, you'll have a very messy pan full of leftover syrup. **We do not wash the pan**, instead we use it to make [[recipes:carob_crispy_rice_treat|Carob Crispy Rice Treats]].  If you indent to do this, make sure to use a large enough saucepan or pot to hold all of your crisp rice treat ingredients.
