Sterilize jar(s) with hot water before placing vanilla syrup in them for gifting or storage. The higher quality the beans, the better the flavor. Store vanilla syrup in the refrigerator. Refrigerated it will last 3-4 weeks (unless you use it all first!)

The simple syrup formula:

Simmer equal parts granulated sugar and water on the stove until the sugar is completely dissolved, then you're ready to add to all your favorite recipes. For a more viscous and potent syrup, go for the rich version: 2 parts sugar to 1 part water, prepared the same way.

Extract is used in addition to other ingredients to flavor. I do not recommend using vanilla extract on its own as a replacement for vanilla syrup; it's not sweet and the vanilla flavor will likely be overpowering.

Stir together sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, and 1 1/2 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until mixture has reduced to about 1/2 cup and has the consistency of a thin syrup, 25 to 30 minutes.

Syrups do not have to be refrigerated. They can be stored at room temperature. It is important to choose one method of storage and stick with it.

When stored properly, vanilla extract will keep indefinitely, but using it within five years will allow for best flavor and aroma. Do not refrigerate or freeze, even after opening.

It is incredibly easy to make, therefore I prefer to do it myself, so I have a bit more control over how much sugar goes into my co*cktails. Simple syrup made this way have a shelf life of 1-2 weeks in a fridge. Rich syrup, however have a shelf life of months (sometimes more than half a year) if kept in a fridge.

The shelf life of your simple syrup will depend upon the cleanliness of the airtight container and the amount of sugar in your mixture. The standard one-to-one sugar-to-water ratio will produce a simple syrup that lasts about one month in the fridge.
