Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 whole Vanilla bean

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Using the back of the knife, scrape out the tiny black seeds from the inside of the vanilla bean pod.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Seal the container tightly and let the sugar sit for at least one week before use. This allows the flavors to meld completely.

Step 6

Use in recipes where vanilla sugar is called for, or as a fragrant substitute for regular sugar in coffee, tea, and baked goods.
