Black sesame simple syrup
Combine water, sugar, and black sesame powder in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, without letting it boil hard to allow the sesame flavor to infuse.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if using.
Let sit for 30 minutes to deepen the flavor.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve.
Cool completely and store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
