Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 small pinch salt optional

Method
 

  1. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the liquid turns clear, about 3 minutes.
  3. Turn the heat to low and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Do not let it boil hard.
  4. Take the pan off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and the salt. Adding vanilla off the heat keeps more of its flavor.
  6. Cool for 15 minutes, then pour into a clean glass bottle or jar and refrigerate.
