Vanilla syrup is a versatile addition to cooking, to coffee, and to baking. Did you know you can make your own? It is easy to do and only takes a few minutes to make your own.
What Recipe Do We Use?
1 Cup of Water
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Vanilla Bean, split with the seeds scraped
Add the water, sugar, and vanilla bean and seeds to a small pan. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for three minutes. Remove the vanilla syrup from heat and let cool. Place in a container and refrigerate. Glass containers are best.
That’s it. You now have a great addition for your recipes.
How Do I Use It?
Add vanilla syrup to your coffee, use it when making French toast, sweeten whipped cream, add to cream puff filling, and any place else you need a little sweet vanilla taste.
Pour a little over some berries before serving. Drizzle a little over pound cake and garnish with a slice of orange.
Add a little to melted chocolate and dip strawberries in it.
The amount you use will depend on several things. You can substitute vanilla syrup for both the sugar and the vanilla in a recipe. You will want to taste to make sure you have the right amount of sweetness and taste.
The possibilities are endless.
How Long Will it Last?
You can keep the vanilla syrup in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Check to make sure it is still good before using it.
