Let the sugar syrup cool completely. Then add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract to the cooled sugar syrup to create vanilla syrup. This can be used to make your Mocha Frappuccino, and other coffee drinks. This recipe for vanilla syrup will allow you to make about 10 beverages. Just store it in the refrigerator, and it will keep for up to one month.
- ALTERNATELY, you can buy vanilla syrup in your market's coffee section.
