VANILLA HONEY ICED TEA LEMONADE

Steps:

• Add the water and honey to a small saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.
• Set the pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently until the honey has completely dissolved into the water. Let the mixture come to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool completely then remove the vanilla bean pod (and discard). Store the syrup in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Add the water and tea bags to a container with a lid. Put on the lid, transfer to the refrigerator and let the mixture sit for at least 8 hours (I usually leave it overnight for about 12 to 14 hours to get it as strong as I like).
• Discard the tea bags from the cold-brew iced tea and add the tea to a large pitcher. Add in the lemon juice and cold water (for the lemonade).
• Start by adding in some of the simple syrup and taste and adjust until you get it to your desired sweetness (I typically use all or almost all of the syrup).
• Pour into glasses with some ice, garnish with mint and serve. Store any extra simple syrup in the fridge - it will keep for a long time.
