    You Asked, We’re Answering

    Vanilla syrup is so popular that you may have quite a few questions. Hopefully we answer most of them here! Take a look at these frequently asked questions and answers. If we didn’t answer your specific question, feel free to leave it in the comments below!

    Can you use vanilla extract instead of vanilla syrup?

    Yes and no. Vanilla extract is essentially pure alcohol that vanilla beans were soaked in. It is very potent and not something that should be consumed straight. You can add a drop or two to your coffee to give it a vanilla taste but it will not sweeten your coffee the same way as vanilla syrup. Vanilla syrup is mostly sugar that has been flavored with vanilla. Sometimes vanilla syrup is made with vanilla extract. But they are definitely not one in the same thing.

    What is vanilla syrup made of?

    Vanilla syrup is made of sugar, water and vanilla. Sometimes it is made with vanilla extract and other times it is made with vanilla bean. Brown sugar or granulated sugar work well. Some vanilla syrup is also made using sugar free sugar replacers. Every brand and recipe is a little different!

    What can I substitute for vanilla syrup?

    If you don’t have vanilla syrup on hand, we recommend making your own, homemade syrup. If this is also not possible, there are a few great things you can use in place of vanilla syrup in your coffee.

    Use maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, or regular sugar in place of vanilla syrup. A tiny scoop of vanilla powder or vanilla bean paste will also work well as a vanilla syrup substitute. You will also just need to add a sweetener to compliment the vanilla taste.
