How To Make Vanilla Coffee Syrup

5 from 1 vote
Servings: 16 oz

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 vanilla bean seeds scraped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar, water, vanilla bean seeds, and scraped vanilla bean halves in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and let the syrup cool. Pour into a jar and refrigerate until needed.

Notes

Feel free to substitute 2 additional teaspoons of vanilla extract for the vanilla bean, if you do not have vanilla beans on hand. It will work fine both ways. The syrup will be prettier with the flecks of vanilla floating in the syrup, but using the extract alone is definitely the more frugal option.

    I am so happy to have found your blog through another blog that I follow. I noticed that you live in Arizona and so do I. It is great to meet another Arizona blogger. I look forward to following you and reading your posts. I love anything vanilla flavored so am sure I would like this syrup!

    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!)
