One thing became quickly apparent when recently work-tripping in America… they have TERRIBLE coffee!
It definitely got me thinking about what goes into those syrups, as well as the sugar content. Here is a premium vanilla bean syrup that I developed, made with real vanilla bean and coconut sugar. While coconut sugar is still sugar, it does have more vitamins and minerals than your standard white sugar. Try this in your morning coffee, a milkshake or ontop of my vanilla bean icecream!

Ingredients
- 250 g water
- 150 g coconut sugar - or sugar of choice
- 1 premium vanilla bean - split length ways and halved
- 1 pinch of pink salt flakes
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to mixer bowl, cook for 15 min/steaming temp/speed 1/MC off.
- Discard the vanilla bean and pour syrup into an airtight glass container.
- I recommend you now add 300 g or 10.6 oz water to the mixer bowl and cook for 10 min/steaming temp/speed 2/MC on - to make cleaning the bowl easier.
Notes
For a thicker syrup, cook a bit longer.
Store in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
You can substitute the vanilla bean with 2 tsp of vanilla essence if you prefer.
