Don't you need to add water to make a simple syrup?

For plain simple syrups, yes. But for this fruit-based simple syrup, there's plenty of water in the berries to make a simple syrup base.

Can I make a larger batch of this small batch strawberry syrup?

Yep, just click "2x" or "3x" in the top right of the recipe card to make a double or triple batch! You'll want to use a larger pot and increase the cook time, but this recipe scales up (or down) really nicely.

Can I add vanilla extract for more flavor?

Sure, I'd add about a teaspoon to get a nice vanilla flavor that won't overwhelm.
