Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small saucepan.

Whisk in the water and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

Place saucepan on the stove at high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Stir often.

Let it continue to boil until the mixture is a syrupy consistency.

Remove from heat and let cool about 10 minutes before serving.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure my kids wait that long. hehe

Can be bottled and stored in the fridge. Can't say exactly how long it keeps because our syrup is usually finished within 2-3 days. A week or so is a safe estimate.
