Vanilla Bean Coffee Syrup
This Vanilla Bean Coffee Syrup is such a simple recipe, only 3 ingredients!
But when you add this homemade Vanilla Bean Syrup to your coffee or hot cocoa, something truly amazing happens. It is like a big hug in a bottle!
You won’t regret having this versatile Vanilla Bean Coffee Syrup in your refrigerator!
We LOVE coffee and we love our coffee “additions” even more! Our favorite part of this syrup recipe is there are not mystery ingredients such as the ones in typical coffee creamers.
We add a few tablespoons of this syrup along with some half and half and viola! We have the perfect coffee.
Here are a few other recipe you may enjoy:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Whisk sugar and water in a small saucepan.
- Cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds out.
- Put both the seeds and pod in the saucepan. Stir mixture over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
- Boil for 1 minute and remove from heat.
- Once the mixture has cooled, remove vanilla bean pod and pour your mixture into a container and store in the refrigerator.
- Syrup will thicken as it cools.
You can also mix this into your tea and make London Fogs. I personally don’t love tea, but I do like London Fogs.
This Vanilla Bean Coffee Syrup is gluten free, dairy free, and can be made sugar free with monk fruit sweetener.
And don’t forgot to share this syrup with friends and family as a gift. It would make a lovely hostess gift or new neighbor welcome gift.
I would pour the recipe in an 8oz mason jar and tie a piece of butcher twine around the lid in a bow. You can use a reusable plastic lid or a metal ring and lid. 🙂

This sounds so good! I’ve just recently started drinking a little coffee with a lot of milk and sugar, so this will be perfect to try! Thanks for sharing on the Homestead Blog Hop!

I love the idea of flavored coffee without artificial ingredients. So smart! Pinned and sharing! Thanks for sharing on Family Joy Blog Link-Up Party this week. Hope you will join us again on Sunday at 12 EST!
I typically just buy hazelnut coffee k-cups but this would be perfect for when I run out. Most commercial syrups and creamers give me horrible headaches. #IdeaBox
Hi Julie! My husband’s favorite coffee flavor is hazelnut too 🙂 We should buy stock in Hazelnut k-cups. LOL I would be so curious to know if this syrup caused a headache. Maybe it’s the sugar alternatives?? Blessings to you!

Ha! Too funny, Michelle. You can have a morning hug with this syrup and a nighttime one with the cork variety 😉
I usually buy vanilla syrup. Maybe I should start making it myself. 🙂
Give it a try, Dara! I used to buy Torani syrups, now I just make them 🙂 My favorite is the Peppermint Mocha Syrup recipe…just as good as Starbucks!! Thanks for stopping by!
