Ingredients

  • 1 cup of white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the water and the sugar to a small saucepan. Stir to combine.
  • Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to boil.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and simmer for 2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid is clear.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. The syrup can be used immediately for hot beverages or chilled for iced drinks.

Notes

  • Vanilla bean paste can be used in place of vanilla extract. The amounts are an equal swap.
  • Take the syrup off the heat before adding the vanilla extract, otherwise the vanilla flavor will evaporate.
