Vanilla Bean Syrup




This is a very helpful and versatile tool to have around the kitchen. You can add this to just about anything from your afternoon coffee to yogurt to a homemade cream soda drink. This is very simple to make and will keep for up to two weeks.

Makes a 1/2 pint

1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of sugar
1 whole vanilla bean split and seeded


Combine water and sugar in a pan and bring to a boil, let simmer for 1 to 2 min. Pour into a canning jar then add the vanilla bean. Keep uncovered until completely cooled, then screw on the top and let steep for two days.

Quick tip: Don’t waste the vanilla bean, put the scraped vanilla bean pod in your sugar to infuse some vanilla flavor in your sugar.
