Add 2 cups of buttermilk to the sugar and butter mixture and blend until combined.

Heat the mixture until it comes to a full boil.

Turn off the heat and keep the pot on the burner.

Add 4 teaspoons of vanilla to the mixture and stir.

Gradually sprinkle in 4 teaspoons of baking soda while stirring, watching for the mixture to foam up.

Ensure the pot is large enough to prevent overflow as the syrup foams.

Once the foam settles, stir the syrup before serving.
