This spiced sweet syrup is a great addition to waffles, french toast, drizzled on desserts, or even in coffee for that morning kick.
Steps
1
Preparing the Syrup
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups bourbon
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 vanilla bean, sliced into thin strips
1 star anise
pinch of sea salt
To prepare the syrup, in a small sauce pot, add all the ingredients, place on medium heat and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, lower the heat and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes to reduce the syrup by about one-third.
Once reduced, remove from heat and serve warm.

Can I substitute the Vanilla Bean with Vanilla Extract? And if so, how much Vanilla Extract would substitute the 1/2 vanilla bean this recipe calls for?
Hi Selene - You certainly can substitute the vanilla bean with vanilla extract. I suggest that you add one teaspoon of extract in place of the 1/2 vanilla bean. Thanks for learning with Rouxbe! Chef Kirk
