What is White Chocolate Syrup?
White Chocolate Syrup is a combination of white chocolate and milk heated and melted until it reaches a thick syrup consistency.
Once cooled, it can be used in coffee or tea for white chocolate lattes or white chocolate mochas. The taste is sweet and creamy.
What is the difference between white chocolate sauce and white chocolate syrup?
The main difference is that white chocolate sauce is thicker than white chocolate syrup. More ingredients are usually required when making white chocolate sauce.

Ingredient Notes
This simple syrup recipe only requires 2 ingredients, plus an optional one.

Easy White Chocolate Syrup Recipe
This recipe makes approximately 1 cup. Ingredient measurements and full directions are in the printable recipe card below.
In a small saucepan over medium-heat, add milk and white chocolate. Stir regularly (about every 30 seconds) to make sure the milk and white chocolate mixture is very smooth, no chunks.
This process can take around 5 minutes. Don’t leave it unattended! If you are not watching it carefully the chocolate may burn or curdle.
Remove the saucepan from heat once the white chocolate is melted and syrup is thick. Add a pinch of salt (optional) and stir.
Pour the white chocolate syrup into a clean airtight bottle or jar for storing.
Let it cool before sealing and refrigerating. The syrup will thicken a bit more when cooling, too. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Flavour and sweeten your tea, coffee and lattes by using 1-2 tablespoon per 1 cup. You can adjust to your taste preference.
Important Tip
Since there are minimal ingredients for this recipe, the syrup may harden while stored in the fridge. However, if this happens to you this is easy to rectify.
Simply place the bottle/jar in hot water for a few minutes and stir occasionally before using so it will pour out easier. Alternatively, you can reheat it on the stovetop until it reaches syrup consistency again.

It sounds strange, but green tea with white chocolate is simply my best opening this year! The bitterness of the tea and the sweet taste of the chocolate create the perfect combination! I really love it)
I agree! It’s a delightful combination. I actually just shared a recipe for a white chocolate latte with a green tea (hojicha). Do you have a favourite green tea that you enjoy with it?
