  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.
