Vanilla Syrup
This is a beautiful syrup that can be used over ice cream, with pancakes and waffles, milkshakes or my favourite way is in coffee / decaf.

Notes
Variations: I also make caramel syrup by first cooking 1/2 cup sugar in frypan on stove until melted. Then put into Thermomix immediately WITH HOT water and the rest of the sugar and prepare as normal. The caramel will set hard in the Thermomix if hot water is not added straight away… speaking by experience here, lol!
Edit: You can make Caramel in the TM6 on the high heat settings, I have not attempted to make the above step for the caramel in it yet to make the caramel version.
