Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil
- Pour the boiling water into a small saucepan that contains the sugar
- Simmer on low heat with a lid for approximately five minutes
- Remove the lid and stir in the vanilla extract
- Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for a few minutes
Notes
When simmering, keep the lid on the saucepan to prevent sugar crystallization. It’s important to allow the sugar to fully dissolve before mixing as it can also develop sugar crystals if not prepared correctly.
Always keep a close eye on the mixture. If it boils, it will turn into caramel.
If you want to add even more depth of flavor to your syrup, you can simmer the mixture with a cinnamon stick, add a teaspoon of nutmeg, or even grate in fruit zest.
