If you made some of the homemade vanilla I gave instructions to in this post, then you’ll surely have some extra vanilla beans!
I had quite a few left over so I thought I’d try making some vanilla sugar for a bit of a treat when added to coffee or tea!
It’s simple:
- Add granulated sugar to an empty mason jar
- Split one vanilla bean down the middle length wise
- Cut the bean into small pieces over the sugar
- Put the lid on the jar, then shake up
You’ll have vanilla sugar ready for the very next day!
