Vanilla Syrup Easy (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Core Ingredients
01 -
1 cup white sugar (200g)
02 -
1 cup plain water (240ml)
→ Taste Enhancer
03 -
2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small pan, combine the water and sugar. Heat it gently and stir without stopping until it just starts bubbling—should take around 3 minutes. Make sure the sugar completely dissolves so the mixture is smooth and clear.
02 -
Take the pan off the stove as soon as the sugar is fully melted. Mix in the vanilla paste or extract to give it that rich, sweet vanilla touch.
03 -
Pour the syrup into a clean jar or similar container. Give it time to cool down to room temperature before closing it tightly. Pop it in the fridge, where it'll last up to a month.
# Notes:
01 -
Use tap water at room temperature for the smoothest consistency.
02 -
Regular sugar works well, but superfine or caster sugar melts even faster.
03 -
Vanilla bean paste adds a speckled look with visible vanilla seeds. Vanilla extract works fine too!
04 -
Keep the syrup in a sealed container in your fridge to make it last longer.
