- 1 vial or a vanilla bean
- 200 ml of water
Materials Needed

Preparation
- Pour the granulated sugar into a double-bottomed saucepan. Gently heat the sugar, avoiding mixing with a spoon: cook until it reaches 140 ° C.
Please note
It is recommended to constantly monitor the temperature of the sugar to prevent it from exceeding 177 ° C: in addition to this temperature, in fact, the sugar burns taking on an unpleasant bitter note.- Meanwhile, in another saucepan, boil the water. Cut a vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape the seeds and add them to the water.
