    Hi Gina, This sounds soooo good. It also sounds to be very easy … well except for the sugar and water part, that might be a little tricky. But, I am still going to make this and my head is spinning with all of the ideas as to how this can be used. Imagine this in a vanilla milkshake !!!! WOW !!! I also like my ” spiked ” coffee every day at 3:00 PM and adding this to my coffee will be wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing.

    This is really tasty. Giving it as gifts this year. Question. Does it need to stay in the fridge after straining or can it go in the bar (room temp)
