DIY Vanilla Coffee Syrup

Alternate title: Coffee to die for 🤩

It truly makes my mornings brighter and happier when I use this syrup and knowing I made it myself makes me feel like I have superpowers even though it’s super easy.

So take that Starbucks —- I don’t need you! (but also don’t hold this against me, I’ll be back)

Alright my syrup ran out yesterday so that means I HAD to make it today so I figured I’d document it and bring you along with me so you can make some at home too!

Bonus little hands can totally help with this recipe!

Let’s do this…

Ingredients:

1 vanilla bean sliced down the middle to expose the seeds

2 cups water

1.5 cups sugar

.5 cups brown sugar

1 Tbsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions:

Mix water, sugars, and vanilla bean in a small pot. Bring to a boil then simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened and sugar has dissolved. Remove the vanilla bean pod and pour into a mason jar. Enjoy with coffee or mix into other beverages to make your life more enjoyable.

This syrup should last about one month in the fridge.

I love to use my leftover vanilla beans when my homemade vanilla runs out. Blog on that coming soon!
