In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut sugar and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once dissolved, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Allow the syrup to cool for 10-15 minutes. As it cools, it will thicken a bit more.
Transfer the cooled syrup to a clean, airtight jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Use the syrup as needed to sweeten coffee, tea, over pancakes, waffles, or in desserts.
