Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup + 3 cups water, divided
1 vanilla bean, sliced open and seeds scraped
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
Ice for serving
Directions:
Add the sugar and one cup of water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slice the vanilla bean open with a paring knife and scrape the seeds from the bean and add to the saucepan along with the remaining whole bean. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam and the sugar has dissolved, about three to four minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add the remaining three cups of water and lemon juice to a pitcher. Set a fine-mesh sieve over the pitcher and pour in the vanilla-sugar mixture. Discard solids. Stir with a spoon and chill. Fill individual glasses with ice and pour lemonade over the ice. Add a straw if desired and serve.
