Ingredient Notes
- Water. I recommend filtered water for the best results.
- Granulated sugar. Organic cane sugar or white sugar are great choices. You can also use brown sugar for a different flavor.
- Vanilla extract. We add vanilla extract to use in iced coffee or cold brew coffee and it's delicious. You can use different extracts (like lavender extract, coconut, etc.) to make different flavors.
