HOW TO MAKE

Toasted vanilla Syrup

01
Cut the vanilla bean. Toast on stovetop in a preheated saucepan over medium heat for 3 minutes. If using vanilla extract, wait to add until the end of step 3.

Slice the vanilla bean in half lengthwise.
02
Caramelize sugar in saucepan with vanilla. Then remove from heat and cool for up to 5 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup of the sugar and heat until it has melted and caramelized to a golden brown. Continue until you have a total of 1 cup of sugar caramelized.
Caution: Caramelized sugar will be hot.
03
Add water to the cooled saucepan. Turn heat back on and gently boil until caramelized sugar dissolves and combines with the water.

If using vanilla extract, add extract once the caramelized sugar and water are dissolved and the heat has been turned off.
If using vanilla bean, cool the syrup and remove the vanilla bean pod.
