1 cup
sugar
1 cup
water
1 vanilla bean, split
PREPARATION:
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the
sugar. Once the mixture boils, reduce the
heat and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Cool the mixture completely and pour into a
glass container with a screw-top. Store in refrigerator for up to 4 months. Remove the vanilla bean before serving.
To make a flavored liqueur syrup, add 1/4 cup liqueur of your choice to the syrup after it has cooled for about 10 minutes. This
recipe can be multiplied.
