4 cups sugar
1 cup water
2 vanilla beans -- minced, or 2 tablespoons

1 sprig fresh thyme -- leaves only
Recipe
Put the sugar, water, vanilla beans, a pinch salt, and the thyme
leaves in
a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower heat to a simmer and
cook
about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool.
Puree syrup in a blender until vanilla beans are thoroughly chopped

using
vanilla extract instead of beans, add extract after the sugar syrup
has
cooled and pour into a jar. Seal tightly.
Keep this syrup on hand to add to iced tea and other cold drinks or
for
poaching fruit. It does not need to be refrigerated. The vanilla is
minced
to make sure all its flavor is extracted into the syrup.
