Super quick and easy, and just the right amount of sweet. Thanks!
I’m happy to hear that you like the syrup!
This looks delicious! How long do you think it can last?
This will keep nicely in the fridge for a week or two, Chloe.
Quick question…how long is the shelf life, and do you keep in the refrigerator or is the cupboard ok?
I keep it in the refrigerator for a couple weeks, Jenn.
how long will the vanilla syrup last??
This should keep nicely for at least a week or two in the fridge.
Why is it called coffee syrup when there’s no coffee in the ingredients? I live in New England where coffee syrup is in every grocery store ) e.g. Autocrat brand) and I was excited to make my own!
oh! I know the coffee syrup you’re referring to, Julie. My friend Lynne introduced me to it a while back. This is a vanilla syrup made for adding to coffee. Sorry for the confusion! (And now I want to figure out how to make a copycat Coffee Syrup!)
Do you remove the halved scraped vanilla bean halves?
Hi Joy- That’s entirely up to your personal preference. You can if you like, but you can also leave it in.
