My second, and I think last, question about vanilla. We've been making
simple syrup here and using it mostly to sweeten iced tea and coffee. I
asked, in another thread, about vanilla beans, because I wanted to try
adding vanilla beans in some form to my simple syrup, thinking it might
taste better than using vanilla extract. Any idea how many beans to use
and exactly how? Most recipes for vanilla syrup are just one cup water,
one cup sugar, and one teaspoon vanilla extract.

Thanks in advance.
