Notes

As an alternative to using a vanilla bean in the simple syrup, just add a tiny bit of vanilla extract to each individual iced coffee, or use a vanilla flavored milk like vanilla almond milk. I’ve also used just half of the vanilla bean in one batch so you can get twice the amount of usage from your expensive vanilla beans. 🙂

This syrup also makes for a delicious hot coffee – I like to brew strong coffee, load up with half and half or heavy cream to make it nice and rich, and then add a couple tablespoons of syrup. It’s a bit more coffee-forward and it’s more of a slow sipper and less of a straw drinker, like the iced coffee, but perfect for colder or rainy mornings.
