Equipment

1 Saucepan
1 Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Filtered Water
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 whole Vanilla Bean Pod - (or 1 tbsp vanilla extract if vanilla bean is not available) fresh vanilla pod highly recommended

Instructions
 

  • Using a paring knife, gently cut the vanilla bean down the center to revealing the seeds inside. Gently press the vanilla pod open with the top of the knife and drop into a sauce pan. 
  • Pour water and sugar into the sauce pan with the vanilla bean over medium heat. Stir ingredients together as the sugar melts into the water. Bring to a boil. 
  • Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to low.  Simmer on low an additional 8 minutes allowing the flavor of the vanilla bean to deepen and concentrate the flavor of the syrup.
  • Strain and let cool. Once cooled, pour into an airtight container.  Consume within 7 to 10 days.
