Another syrup very used on tiki drinks is the Vanilla Syrup.

This is a very easy syrup to make at home, you only need sugar, water and vanilla beans, and, of course, the homemade version is always better than the commercial.

In this syrup, I prefer to use white sugar and let the syrup take the golden color of the vanilla.
