I’m a bit of a coffee snob. Okay, scratch that. I am absolutely 100% a coffee snob! I don’t deny it. When my day begins with a hot cup of coffee flavored with Homemade Vanilla Coffee Syrup and whole milk, it’s going to be a good day!
I also make Homemade Coffee Creamer, Coffee Popsicles and even Coffee Body Scrub. I drink it, eat it and bathe in it! I love coffee.
I am a pour over drip coffee gal because it produces a clean, flavorful coffee without any of that bitterness or plastic taste that you can get with a machine. When I have the time and inclination I take it a step further with homemade simple syrups to add to my brew.
I told you. I am serious about my coffee! I come out of bed looking like Grumpy Cat. Anyone that knows me will tell you to stay far, far away until I’ve had my morning cup of coffee.
The great thing about making your own Vanilla Coffee Syrup is just how simple it is. Not only does it bring a cup of coffee to the next level, but vanilla syrup is wonderful in cocktails, over ice cream or anything else you can think up. My daughter loves a little vanilla syrup added to her milk. Vanilla milk instead of chocolate milk. Mmmmm.

Is this syrup freezable??
I have never tried freezing simple syrup. But a quick google search leads me to believe that it is able to be frozen and stored indefinitely.
Love this idea and think it would be a great gift idea as well. Pinned!
Thanks! I would be great in a coffee gift basket 🙂
Can you tell me exactly how to split and scrape vanilla bean, please? First timer here!
Carefully slice down the vanilla bean, lengthwise. Then pry bean open and use the tip of your knife to scrape the little vanilla seeds out. Here is a photo tutorial if you want to check it out >> http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-use-a-vanilla-bean-181511
I love your post. Homemade Vanilla Coffee Syrup is easy to make and will take your morning coffee to the next level! Thanks for sharing.
When making extracts with vanilla beans, the beans last indefinitely. Is that the same with syrup or do you need to toss the bean each time you remake the syrup?
