Vanilla syrup in Sussex?

[maxiewaxie]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy Vanilla Syrup anywhere nearish to Brighton. I want it to make cocktails not to put in coffee, but I don't know if that makes any difference.
Thank you

I use almost copious amounts of Nielsen-Massey Vanilla Extract. Besides using it as an extract, I also make a syrup by making simple syrup, then adding a few drops of the extract. It's quick and easy and costs much less than simply buying vanilla syrup.

You can buy this at Sainsburys, Waitrose. I've never seen it at Tesco. It comes in an 118ml bottle and costs circa �6.
Absolutely Lovely! The other vanilla I use is Moore McCormick's, which I buy in the states, but you can also buy online here from a number of the US grocry purveyors... but truthfully,,.the Nielsen is much nicer!

Good drinking!

I forgot to add...I buy it at Waitrose in Hailsham, Sainsburys in Bexhill and Eastbourne!

Best of luck!

Thank you for your reply, sorry to be dim but how do you make your simple syrup?
Thank again

apologies...I take one litre of warm water, add a cup of sugar to disolve completely, then store it in the fridge.

We use it for when we have iced tea...my children and I enjoy this as a summer treat with a sprig of fresh mint..

And I use it when making lemonade.

Best regards
