Recipe: Simple Syrup: Vanilla Bean-Grenadine
Deliciously balanced flavors of pomegranate, orange, and vanilla that is great in drinks or baked goods.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups 100% pomegranate juice*
- 6 tsp. Pomegranate Molasses
- 4 tsp. Orange Flower Water
- 2 Mexican Vanilla Beans
Notes
*Use 100% pomegranate juice (like the POM Wonderful brand) and not a juice mix.
Directions
Whisk sugar and pomegranate juice together in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to make sure sugar dissolves, and cook for 1 to 2 min. Remove from heat and add pomegranate molasses, orange flower water and vanilla bean pieces with scraped seeds. Cover and allow mixture to steep until room temperature, about 20 min. Transfer to a sealed container and store in the refrigerator. Use within 2 weeks.
