Scrape seeds from inside of vanilla bean half into a separate small saucepan; add vanilla bean and remaining 1 cup sugar and water. Place each saucepan over medium-high, and bring contents to a simmer, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove each saucepan from heat, and let mixtures cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks and vanilla bean half from syrups.
