- Stovetop
Ingredients
- 4-6 cups water enough to fill your saucepan

- 2 cinnamon sticks cinnamon sticks for a spicy, aromatic flavor
Instructions
- Pour the water into your saucepan and set it on the stovetop over medium heat.
- Add the vanilla extract to the water, swirling gently to distribute the aroma.
- Place the cinnamon sticks into the water, ensuring they are submerged for maximum scent release.
- Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; you'll hear the water start to bubble softly and see steam rising.
- Reduce the heat to low to maintain a steady simmer, making sure the water doesn’t boil over or dry out.

Notes
Keep an eye on the water level to prevent drying out; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. You can reuse the cinnamon sticks for multiple days or replace with fresh ones as desired.
