Ingredients 

  • 4 whole vanilla beans
  • 75 grams caster sugar
  • 100 ml water
  • 2 tsp glucose

Instructions

  • Cut the whole beans lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Place the seeds in a saucepan.
  • Finely grind the empty vanilla beans and sugar in a food processor or mincer. It is okay if there are still slightly coarser pieces of the vanilla beans in there.
  • Place the sugar mixture in the saucepan with the water and glucose. Bring to a boil and simmer gently for 7-8 minutes.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then grind again in the food processor. Pour the vanilla paste into a clean glass. If you want the vanilla paste to have as few pieces in it as possible, strain the vanilla paste through a sieve.
Tips
You can also use empty, scraped vanilla beans, you will need 5 or 6 depending on the size.
