Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring tools
  • Preserving bottle
  • Funnel

Method
 

  1. Combine brown sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a smooth syrup.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Let the syrup cool, then transfer it to a jar or bottle for storage.

Notes

If you want a thicker, richer brown sugar syrup (closer to a caramel-like texture), you can adjust the ratio to 2:1 (two parts brown sugar to one part water) and simmer it a little longer until it thickens.
