Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise down the center to expose the seeds. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Using the back of the knife, scrape out the tiny black seeds from the inside of the vanilla bean pod.
Place the granulated sugar into a blender or food processor. Add the vanilla seeds and blend for 30-60 seconds until the seeds are evenly distributed and the sugar is fragrant.
Pour the vanilla sugar into an airtight container, such as a glass jar. Add the empty vanilla bean pod to the container for additional flavor infusion.
Seal the container tightly and let the sugar sit for at least one week before use. This allows the flavors to meld completely.
Use in recipes where vanilla sugar is called for, or as a fragrant substitute for regular sugar in coffee, tea, and baked goods.
