Instructions
- Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan.
- Add the scraped seeds and the pod of the vanilla bean to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the vanilla flavor, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and discard the vanilla bean pod.
- Stir in the rose water and fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a clean jar or bottle.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.
Tips
- Use a whole vanilla bean for deeper, natural vanilla flavor instead of just vanilla extract.
- Add fresh lemon juice to balance sweetness and enhance the floral notes of the rose.
