Vanilla Simple Syrup

Written By Cali Simon

The Story Behind the Recipe:

It’s simple. We ran out of chocolate syrup to make the KING of all recovery workout drinks- Chocolate Milk. Post workout Chocolate Milk is a must for me as an athlete (even more so as an athlete with a history of REDs).

Simple Syrup isn’t hard to make… but what about a Vanilla Simple Syrup? I haven’t tried that before. So I gave it go. It was a hit on the first try. This is PERFECT in the Vanilla Recovery Milk, so check out that recipe in the index.

Servings: ~24 (1 TBSP/serving)


Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Water

  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar

  • 2 tsp Homemade Vanilla Extract (see recipe index)


Stove Top Directions:

  • ***Please, wash your hands***

  • Bring water to a boil.

  • In a heat resistant container mix 1 sugar and water. Use Caution HOT.

  • Mix until sugar is fully dissolved

  • Allow to Cool, then add Vanilla

  • Mix well and enjoy.

  • Store in a Air Tight Container in the Fridge. Good for about 30 days


Recommendations:

  • Most people don’t have Homemade Vanilla Extract at home… my favorite store brand if I had to choose: Hands down Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract from Nielsen-Massey

    As close to homemade as you can get from the store in my opinion. I also now see that Nielsen-Massey makes a Mexican Vanilla I haven’t tried yet, and I’m intrigued to try that one.
