Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 Vanilla Beans split lengthwise
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and vanilla beans and bring to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Let the syrup boil hard, without stirring, for 2 minutes. 
  3. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let the vanilla beans steep for 30 minutes.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine. You should have about 2 1/2 cups. Let cool.
  5. 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.
