Vanilla Syrup:

Making homemade vanilla syrup is a simple way to add a delightful vanilla flavor to your coffee, cocktails, or desserts. Here’s a basic recipe for homemade vanilla syrup:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 vanilla beans or 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Vanilla Beans:
    • If you’re using vanilla beans, slice them in half lengthwise to expose the seeds inside. You can use the entire bean, including the seeds, for a richer flavor.
  2. Combine Sugar and Water:
    • In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. If you’re using vanilla beans, add the split beans and seeds to the saucepan as well.
  3. Heat and Stir:
    • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves completely. This usually takes about 5 minutes.
  4. Simmer:
    • Once the sugar has dissolved, allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you’re using vanilla beans, leave them in the syrup as it simmers to infuse the flavor.
  5. Remove from Heat:
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat source and let the syrup cool for about 20-30 minutes.
  6. Strain:
    • If you used vanilla beans, remove them from the syrup. Then, strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove any solids or impurities.
  7. Add Vanilla Extract (if using):
    • If you didn’t use vanilla beans, add 2 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract to the strained syrup and stir to combine.
  8. Store:
    • Pour the homemade vanilla syrup into a glass bottle or airtight container. Seal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator. The syrup should last for several weeks to a few months, depending on the quality of your storage container.
  9. Use:
    • Use your homemade vanilla syrup to sweeten coffee, tea, cocktails, or drizzle it over desserts like pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.

Your homemade vanilla syrup is now ready to add a delicious and aromatic vanilla flavor to your favorite beverages and treats. Enjoy!
