Equipment

  • 1 Mason Jar to store

Ingredients
  

  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a small to medium saucepan, combine water and sugar, whisking over medium-high heat.
  • Heat the mixture until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar has fully dissolved and the liquid is clear.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Next, mix in the vanilla bean paste.
  • Let the syrup cool, or use it right away.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and enjoy it in your favorite drinks or recipes as needed.

Notes

  • This recipe yields about 3/4 cup of vanilla simple syrup, and you can easily double the ingredients if needed.
  • To incorporate a vanilla pod, split it lengthwise and add it to the syrup at the beginning. Allow the mixture to simmer, then let it sit to infuse.
  • Once it’s cool enough to handle, scrape out the vanilla seeds and stir them into the syrup for added flavor.
