Vanilla Cordial
250g sugar (use 1 cup if you don't have scales) 250mL water (ditto) 1 tsp natural vanilla essence
Mix the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Put it over a low heat, stirring gently until all the sugar dissolves (but only just!). Take it off the heat, and let it cool for a minute. Then stir in the vanilla.
Pour into some kind of bottle or jar. You want about a finger thick in the bottom of a glass for a non-fizzy drink, but add a bit more if adding sparkling water.
Are you getting déjà vu? Nope, this is the same as the lemon cordial but with the flavouring swapped out. This one tastes a bit like a brown creaming soda.
