Vanilla and Nectarine Syrup

• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• Teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla powder
• 1 cup of fresh Nectarine juice – Stone and halve 3-4 fresh nectarines or other stone fruit (peaches, plums or apricots will all work well in this cocktail). Juice by either an electric juicer or by blending and then straining the puree through a sieve. Alternatively, store bought juices can also be substituted.
• Combine ingredients in a pot and simmer until sugar is dissolved. Strain through a fine sieve again. Store in a clean bottle and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks
