Ingredients

Preparation Instructions:

Stir water and sugar in a saucepan. Heat on low until sugar is dissolved.

Raise heat to boiling. Lower immediately to simmer.

Slice open vanilla bean, scrape out seeds. Mix seeds with a small amount of hot water in a small bowl and use back of a spoon to create a slurry and separate clumped seeds.

Pour slurry into sugar/water mixture in saucepan. Rinse bowl with small amount of water to transfer all seeds to syrup. Cut pods into 1/2 inch sections and put them in the saucepan.

Let steep on simmer for 3 minutes. Pour seed, pods, syrup into sterilized jar. Let set for a day. Your syrup is ready.
