I was reading the thread last night about Curacao Curacao and noticed Martin's comment about TV rock candy syrup being high fructose corn syrup and vanillin. It made me think about soaking a vanilla bean in warm simple syrup. Does anyone have strong opinions on what sugar to use in making simple syrup? There are a number of better sugars out there that actually have some character ... or are you after a simple sweetner with no characteristic taste?
