Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • sharp knife
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • funnel
  • Glass Bottle or Jar

Ingredients
  

Vanilla Bean Syrup

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 whole vanilla bean split and seeds scraped
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional for extra flavor
  • 1 pinch salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine sugar, water, scraped vanilla seeds, and the empty vanilla pod in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until dissolved.
  • Simmer gently for 5 minutes so the vanilla infuses fully while the syrup thickens slightly.
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract if using and allow the mixture to cool for several minutes.
  • Remove the vanilla pod or strain if preferred. The syrup should appear glossy with evenly distributed vanilla specks.
  • Transfer carefully into a sterilized glass bottle using a funnel. Refrigerate before serving.
  • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to coffee, espresso, tea, milk, or desserts. Stir well for balanced sweetness.

Notes

Reduce simmering slightly for a lighter syrup or extend by one minute for a thicker texture without caramelizing. Chill completely before preparing iced drinks. Stir gently before each use because vanilla seeds naturally settle. Customize with cinnamon or almond extract. Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to one month.
