Because the only kind worth having, is the one made at home......
And because I like knowing that what I make at home is free of preservatives and all the other nasty stuff...

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract1/2 tsp. maple extract
Mix the white and brown sugar with the water, bring to a boil.

This syrup does not need refrigeration. I just use a cute little glass bottle for mine.
