This easy homemade vanilla syrup takes just 3 pantry staples and 10 minutes. Made with vanilla bean paste, sugar, and water, it's perfect for coffee, lattes, team and. cocktails, at a fraction of the cost of store-bought.
Add the water and sugar to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk often so the sugar doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the sugar has fully dissolved and the liquid looks clear (this usually takes about 4-5 minutes), remove the pan from the heat. Note: You don't want it to boil.
Whisk in the vanilla bean paste. Taste and add a little more according to preference.
Let the syrup cool completely, then pout it into an airtight jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
