Rowen, Store them in a ziplock bag in a dark place and make sure to get all the air out when you close it (a straw works wonders for this).

How do you store the beans if you’re not gonna use ‘em all right away?

The vanilla syrup should stay good for several months in the refrigerator with that much sugar in it.

Hey there!

The recipe sounds delicious, I just bought 100g of vanilla pods so I can give it a try. =) One question comes to my mind though: How long is the shelf life for the vanilla syrup? Wouldn’t hurt if I add some vodka to preserve it, I guess, or does the vodka tamper with the vanilla?

OMG, I paid $8 for 3 vanilla beans recently. I may cry…

I made Brazilian Daiquiris and put the used vanilla beans in some sugar afterward, but forgot to let them dry completely first. The sugar got hard pretty quickly… so I used it to make syrup. So this story has a happy ending.

Hi. Actually cocktails with vanilla syrup is so rare things in my life and on my blog :) But some weeks ago I tested this one. I was found cocktail Rum Pot on Trader Tiki blog. It is great mix of my favorite demerara rum with some syrups and juices. It was great! And I prepared my own vanilla syrup from water, sugar and vanilla extract. You can see Rum Pot on my blog.
