Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla bean
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 750 milliliters Champagne or sparkling wine
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
- Fresh vanilla pod or twist of lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of the knife.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the scraped vanilla seeds, the vanilla bean pod, granulated sugar, and water.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature. This creates your vanilla-infused simple syrup.
4. Strain the cooled simple syrup into a small bowl or jar, discarding the vanilla bean pod.
5. Prepare champagne flutes by adding about 1 teaspoon of the vanilla simple syrup to the bottom of each glass.
6. (Optional) If you want a stronger vanilla flavor, add a drop or two of vanilla extract to the syrup in each glass.
7. Gently pour chilled champagne or sparkling wine into each flute, allowing the syrup to mix naturally as the bubbles rise.
8. Stir lightly with a cocktail stirrer if needed. Garnish with a fresh vanilla pod or a twist of lemon zest for an elegant touch.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vanilla Champagne!
