The video provides an in-depth tutorial on how to make your own homemade vanilla syrup with just three simple ingredients which include granulated white sugar, water, and vanilla extract, opting for pure vanilla extract, but also giving the option to use an artificial one. The process involves caramelizing sugar in a saucepan, adding water, boiling the mixture, and then adding the rest of the sugar. Just before turning off the heat, the vanilla extract is added and left to cool down. The video provides useful tips like being cautious to not let the steam from the lid mix with the syrup.

The syrup was then compared with 'Monin Vanilla Syrup,' and visually, the homemade version has a darker color and the cost savings were significant, with a 55% cost reduction. The process may be an extra work, yet considered worthwhile especially during times of supply shortage. While the taste comparison was not included in this video, as the creator plans to do that in a separate clip, the tutorial of making vanilla syrup was concise, informative and practical for anyone looking to make their own latte or matcha green tea at home.
