Mix everything well until dissolved and bring to a boil.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to taste and allow to continue boiling.

Simmer on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, checking if the sugar has melted.

If the syrup does not stick to the back of the spatula, continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes.

Stir to ensure all sugars have melted beautifully.

Perform the finger test by running your finger down the back of the spatula; if the syrup does not run through the line, it is done.

Turn off the heat before adding butter to ensure a nice buttery flavor.

Add butter and stir until melted.

Add 1 teaspoon of maple extract and 1 teaspoon of homemade vanilla extract, then stir well.

Let the syrup cool completely; it will thicken as it cools.
