In a small saucepan, add the water & sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
1 cup water, 1 cup sugar
Once the sugar dissolves, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vanilla, and let the simple syrup cool.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
To make the passion tea lemonade
Combine the tea, lemonade, and 1 1/2 Tablespoons prepared simple syrup in a drink shaker or sealable container. Shake the mixture to combine and pour over ice.
8 ounces brewed passion tea, 2 ounces lemonade
Notes
The simple syrup will keep in the fridge for up to a month and make several batches of tea.
Use your favorite homemade lemonade or store bought. I like Simply Lemonade.
