Make you own vanilla sugar
Of course, vanilla sugar tastes much better when you make it yourself. And you only need two ingredients: sugar and vanilla beans. Simple and delicious!
Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 200 grams fine granulated sugar
- 2 vanilla beans
Instructions
- Put the sugar in a bowl. Cut open the vanilla pods and scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the sugar and stir. I personally rubbed the vanilla through with my fingers to make sure it was evenly distributed and there were no 'lumps' of vanilla.
- Pour half the sugar into a sealable jar, add the vanilla beans and then fill the jar with the rest of the sugar.
- You can use your homemade vanilla sugar now, but the flavor will be even better after two weeks.
- Is your jar of vanilla sugar almost empty? Fill it up with new sugar. Of course, the beans will not give off their flavor forever, so add new ones from time to time and mix the seeds back into the sugar.
Tips
I use this homemade vanilla sugar as a 1:1 replacement for the small sachets of vanilla sugar from the supermarket.
How to store
Keep in a sealed jar in a dark place. Keeps forever.
