April Favorites: A Great Big World & their Favorites

agreatbigworld:

Day 15. We thought we’d share some of our favorite things in life with you.

Yesterday I posted a photo of Vanilla Bean (ginger)SNAP syrup I made. Here’s the recipe!

Note: This is a 2:1 ratio simple syrup recipe, which I read lasts much longer. It’s doubly sweet, so keep that in mind when using.

2 cups sugar (I used raw)
1 cup of water
Juice of 1 lemon
1 vanilla bean, split & seeded
2 T. SNAP spirit 

Place 1/4 cup water & the sugar in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until sugar is caramelized. Carefully add the remaining 3/4 cup water & the lemon juice; add the vanilla bean and seeds and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat. Stir in 2 T. of SNAP spirit. Let stand for 1 hour or more. Strain the cooled syrup into a jar and store in the refrigerator.

For homemade cream soda, as above, pour 2 teaspoons syrup over ice. Top with seltzer. Stir & drink up!

Warmer months are coming! So I made some Vanilla Bean SNAP 2:1 simple syrup for iced coffees, cocktails & seltzer sodas.
