Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar or Splenda
- 1 piece or tablespoon (depending on ingredient) Vanilla bean or other flavoring agent (e.g., cinnamon stick, dried lavender, citrus zest, etc.)
Instructions
Choose your flavoring agent, such as a vanilla bean, cinnamon stick, dried lavender, or citrus zest. Ensure the flavoring ingredient is thoroughly clean and dry before use.
If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise with a sharp knife and scrape out the seeds. Keep both the seeds and the pod for infusing. For other ingredients like cinnamon sticks or lavender, use them as-is.
In a clean, dry jar or airtight container, add 1 cup of granulated sugar or Splenda.
Place the flavoring ingredient into the container, nestling it into the sugar or Splenda to ensure full contact.
Seal the container tightly and shake it gently to distribute the flavoring ingredient. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Allow the sugar or Splenda to infuse with the flavor for at least 5-7 days. Taste it periodically to check for the desired strength of flavor.
Once the sugar or Splenda is infused to your liking, remove any large pieces of the flavoring ingredient (e.g., vanilla pod, cinnamon stick) and discard or repurpose them.
Use your flavored sugar or Splenda in coffee, tea, baked goods, or as a topping for desserts.
