Yield: 1 and 1/3 cups
Vanilla Syrup
Made with just 3 simple ingredients and 10 minutes of work, this fragrant Vanilla Simple Syrup is the perfect homemade sweetener for your favorite drinks from coffee to cocktails.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
Instructions
- Add water and sugar to a medium sized saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
- Add the vanilla bean and cook for 2 minutes more, then remove from the heat. Allow the syrup to cool for at least 1 hour with the vanilla bean steeping in the syrup.
- Remove the vanilla bean from the saucepan and discard. (If there are any large bits from the vanilla bean, you can strain the simple syrup through a fine mesh sieve or cheese cloth.)
- Use immediately or transfer to a clean glass jar with a lid for storage. Store vanilla simple syrup in jar, tightly sealed, in the fridge for up to a month.
Notes
Storage: Store the vanilla simple syrup in a clean, dry glass jar with a clean, dry, tight-fitting lid. Moisture can cause syrup to spoil. Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 1 year.
Spoilage: Cloudy or bad-smelling vanilla syrup is spoiled and should be discarded.
