A basic simple syrup makes a fantastic sweetener for iced drinks, like iced tea or iced coffee. A flavored simple syrup, on the other hand, makes an instant shot of flavor for iced drinks, hot drinks, fresh fruit, cakes and more.

This flavored simple syrup combines to favorite flavors -- fresh mint and vanilla bean -- into one succulent sweetener. You can make it in advance and keep it for six months or longer. (Just add about one shot of vodka per two cups of simple syrup to prolong its shelf life.)
