DIY Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup
We’re coming down to the gifting wire, and if you’re still looking for something to give, today’s DIY is beyond simple (and it seems so fancy!). So if there’s someone on your list who loves coffee or tea, this might just be up your alley. Today we’re doing a vanilla bean simple syrup! Grab your materials:

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 vanilla bean (optional)
  • container to give it in

Combine sugar and water in a pot over high heat. As it’s heating, split your vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out the insides. Put both the scrapings and the bean pod in the pot. When all of the sugar is dissolved, lower the heat and let the pot simmer for about 10-15 minutes. When you take the pot off the heat, stir in the vanilla extract (you might want to add an extra dash if you’re not using a vanilla bean).

Let the mixture cool slightly and pour it into a container! This is another project that is so easy to make in large batches, so give it to all the folks on your list — and don’t forget to save one for yourself. Make it and give it! xoxo

  1. Not only is this a fantastic idea (sure to be making it’s way to cupboards near me) but I really like how you packaged it with the paper tassels.

    Hope you have a merry Christmas!

  2. Love this! I have some vanilla beans I just got & this would be a great way to user them! How long does the syrup keep for?
