INGREDIENTS
 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Put sugar and water in a saucepan and simmer.
    Stir to make sure sugar dissolves completely.
  • Take off heat and add vanilla extract.
  • Pour syrup into an airtight container.
    The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

NOTES

  • Don't cook the vanilla extract since it can lose flavor. Only add it at the end after the dissolved sugar and water is off the heat.
  • There's no need to bring the sugar and water to a boil. Heating the water just hot enough to dissolve the sugar is enough.
  • Recipe makes 1 cup (16 tablespoons) of vanilla syrup. To flavor and sweeten coffee, use 1-2 tablespoons of syrup per 1 cup serving.
