Vanilla is a stunningly complex and subtle spice, containing at a guess somewhere between 250 and 500 different flavour and fragrance components. The most prominent of these is vanillin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) which-despite its ungainly chemical moniker-is relatively straightforward to synthesize. There are a number of Vanilla syrups on the market, of which the Monin is my ultimate favorite. But they can be expensive.

Any of the fruit-flavored syrups can be used for homemade sodas. Simply add soda water such asseltzer or club soda; a good ratio is one part syrup to four or five parts soda. A soda maker, like the Ninja Thirsti, will carbonate water and blend it with the syrup.Vanilla Bean: another, probably more technical, way is to use an actual vanilla bean pod. While this is a wonderful route to take, vanilla bean pods are the most expensive route to take, and it will take longer to infuse into the syrup. Imitation vanilla: Either a colorless liquid or a brown one, imitation vanilla is simply a vanilla-flavored extract. This recipe is a great way to use already used vanilla pods– so save your vanilla bean pods after you use the vanilla beans in other recipes.
