How to Make Vanilla Syrup for Coffee (and customize it)

🖤Whether you’re a coffee connoisseur looking to up your coffee game, or you’d like to save some money while flavoring your morning coffee, this homemade vanilla syrup recipe is for you! With just four ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can make a syrup that would cost you two or three times as much to buy in the store. Not only is it relatively simple to make, but you’ll also be surprised with its ability to give drinks a burst of flavor. Plus I'll go over different types of vanilla you can use to flavor this (vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, and a whole vanilla bean), and other ways to customize it! 🖤READ THE BLOG POST: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/va... 🖤PRODUCTS MENTIONED: (some links affiliate) ◼Mason Jar Pumps: https://amzn.to/3JL638c ◼Bottle of vanilla with pump: https://amzn.to/46HfS15 ◼Swing top bottle: https://amzn.to/3KyGvf0 🖤RECIPES WHERE YOU CAN USE VANILLA SYRUP: Simply replace the sweetener with the vanilla syrup, and leave out any vanilla extract: ◼London Fog Tea Latte: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/ho... ◼Iced Matcha Latte: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/ic... ◼Starbucks Chai Tea Latte: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/st... ◼Sweet Cream Cold Foam: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/sw... ◼Strawberry Matcha Latte: https://www.butteredsideupblog.com/st... 🖤VANILLA SYRUP RECIPE: ◼Ingredients: 1 cup sugar (see note) 1 cup water 1 pinch salt (optional) 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste, or 1 whole vanilla bean ◼Instructions: ◼To Make with Extract or Paste: Place the sugar, water, and salt in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn heat down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, until all of the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. Allow to cool a bit before pouring into a glass airtight container. ◼To Make with a Whole Vanilla Bean: Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise, leaving one end intact. Place the sugar, water, salt, and vanilla bean in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn heat down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, until all of the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to steep for 10 minutes. You can either discard the vanilla bean, or put it in your storage container. ◼To Use in Drinks: For each pump of vanilla syrup, use 1/2 tablespoon of your homemade syrup. ◼To Store: Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3-5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. If you keep the whole vanilla bean in the syrup, make sure to store in the refrigerator. ◼Notes To make a rich simple syrup, increase the sugar to 2 cups. This will result in a thicker syrup, which could clog up a pump, but it will also last longer. 🖤FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL: Instagram:   / butteredsideupblog   Twitter:   / ericaleaphotos   Facebook:   / butteredsideupblog   Pinterest:   / ericalea   🖤FILMING EQUIPMENT: (some links affiliate) Camera: https://amzn.to/3rhyZZY Lens: https://amzn.to/3rdDTHk Voiceover mic: https://amzn.to/2MAqfzj The music I use in almost all of my videos: https://share.epidemicsound.com/sxoviu NOTE: Some links are affiliate.
