Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and vanilla beans and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Let the syrup boil hard, without stirring, for 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the vanilla beans steep for 30 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. You should have about 2 1/2 cups. Let cool.
Divvy the vanilla syrup among individual bottles or jars and include a half vanilla bean in each. (If making this as gifts, plan on filling three 8-ounce jars.) You can keep the vanilla syrup in the fridge for up to several months.

Notes

Storage--Vanilla syrup should be stored in a sealed bottle in the fridge. It will keep for up to 1 month.
Substitutions--Use 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste in place of the vanilla beans.
Dietary--This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
