3. 3Heat the mixture over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil, stirring regularly.
4. 4Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and continue a low boil for 8-9 minutes, stirring regularly.
5. 5Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and orange extract if using).
6. 6To store, keep the syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge and heat to serve.
