Notes

For Vanilla French soda:

Add 1/4c syrup to a glass with ice Fill nearly to the top with club soda Fill the rest of the way with milk or cream

For Italian Soda:

Same as French soda but skip the milk

Vanilla Bean Pod: to use a pod, slice it in half lengthwise and add it to the simple syrup from the beginning. Allow it to simmer, then set it aside to infuse and scrape out the vanilla seeds, once it’s cool enough to handle; stir them into the syrup.
