How to Make Vanilla Sugar at Home

Easy, Delicious, and Totally Worth It!

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups granulated sugar (adjust quantity as needed)
• 1–2 whole vanilla beans

Instructions:

1. Split the Vanilla Beans

• Using a sharp knife, slice the vanilla bean lengthwise.
• Scrape out the seeds (also called “vanilla caviar”).

2. Mix with Sugar

• Add the vanilla seeds and the scraped pod(s) into a clean glass jar.
• Pour in the sugar.
• Seal the jar and shake or stir to evenly distribute the seeds.

3. Let It Infuse

• Store in a cool, dry place for at least 1 week.
• Shake the jar every couple of days to mix and enhance flavor.

 Storage Tip:

• Keep the jar sealed tightly.
• It can last for several months and actually gets better with time!

 Extra Ideas:

• Refill the jar with more sugar as you use it — the vanilla bean will keep infusing.
• You can blend the vanilla and sugar for a finer texture like in your image (optional but great for baking).

 How to Use It:

• In baking (cookies, cakes, muffins)
• Stirred into tea, coffee, or hot chocolate
• Sprinkled on fruit, oatmeal, or toast
• As a special sugar for whipped cream or frosting
