Vanilla syrup..

Things You'll Need:

2 cups Sugar

1 cup Water

1 Vanilla Bean

Small saucepan

Bottle or jar



Chop the vanilla bean into small pieces and slice the pieces lengthwise to release the sticky beans inside the pod.

Put 1 cup of water and 2 cups of sugar into a saucepan. Add the vanilla pieces.


Bring this mixture to a boil. The sugar will melt and the liquid will become clear. I like to boil this syrup for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Once your syrup has cooled, remove the large pieces of vanilla bean and pour it into a bottle. You will have small pieces of bean floating in your syrup --- this will continue to flavor the syrup. If you prefer clear syrup, strain through a coffee filter before bottling.

That's it! Your simple vanilla syrup will be good for months (if it lasts that long!). Keep it in the refrigerator. Now it's time to buy some good coffee beans and make yourself a latte
