Madagascar Vanilla Bean Simple Syrup
Dilute equal parts sugar and water (Recommend 2 cups sugar to 2 cups of warm water) to make a simple syrup.
Stir the sugar and water until well combined.
Scrape the vanilla bean pods (1 pod if following our recommend portion) and stir into the simple syrup.
Add the vanilla bean pod into the simple syrup and let the syrup come to room temperature.
Refrigerate for 24 hours and enjoy! Perfect for adding to this cocktail of course but try it in your morning coffee or when baking cakes!
