How to Make Vanilla Caramel Syrup For Coffee Or Espresso

  1. Using a sharp knife, split 1 vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape the inside of the bean using the knife's edge to collect the vanilla seeds.
  2. Place the vanilla bean seeds and the outer pod into a medium saucepan.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and a pinch of sea salt to the saucepan.
  4. Heat over low heat, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Increase the heat to medium and continue to stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly. Do not boil.
  6. Remove from heat. For the smoothest syrup, strain the hot mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter to remove the vanilla bean and any sediment.
  7. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
  8. Pour the cooled syrup into an airtight container, such as a glass bottle or jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
