Homemade Vanilla Bean Syrup ✨

✨Vanilla Bean Syrup Recipe✨

Hi guys!! Here’s another easy 3-ingredient syrup I love to make—perfect for coffee, tea, and (my personal favorite) matcha! Hope you love it as much as I do!! 🤍🍵✨

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar

• 1 vanilla bean

Instructions:

1. Split the vanilla bean:

• Use a sharp knife to slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the knife.

2. Combine ingredients:

• In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and the bean pod.

3. Heat gently:

• Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves (about 5 minutes).

• Do not let it boil vigorously—just a light simmer.

4. Infuse:

• Remove from heat.

• Let the vanilla bean steep in the syrup for at least 30 minutes for full flavor (or up to an hour for stronger infusion).

5. Strain & store:

• Strain out the vanilla pod and any large seed clumps if desired (you can leave the seeds in for aesthetic and flavor reasons).

• Pour into a clean cute glass jar or bottle.

6. Cool & refrigerate:

• Allow to cool completely before sealing.

• Store in the fridge for up to 2–3weeks.

💡 Tips:

• If you don’t have vanilla beans, substitute with 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (added after the syrup cools).

• Shake or stir before each use if seeds settle.
