Vanilla Coffee Syrup

You could say that we are coffee people around here. At one point a few years ago you could count seven different sizes and kinds of coffee makers in our kitchen. One of my favorites is a tiny yellow stovetop Bialetti mokapot that makes quick and delicious espresso. This syrup is the perfect addition to make a vanilla latte at home.
