Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 3/4 cups of syrup. You can easily double it!
- Vanilla Bean Pod: to use a pod, slice it in half lengthwise and add it to the simple syrup from the beginning. Allow it to simmer, then set it aside to infuse and scrape out the vanilla seeds, once it's cool enough to handle; stir them into the syrup.
