How to Make Vanilla-Infused Sugar

If you're tired of plain old sugar, impress your friends with this vanilla-infused sugar recipe.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups white, granulated sugar
• Whole vanilla bean

1. Find a jar with a tight-fitting lid that will hold 2 cups of sugar with a little room to spare.

2. Pour the sugar into the jar.

3. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise, exposing the vanilla beans.

4. Scrape out the seeds and put them in with the sugar. Bury the bean in the sugar as well.

5. Fasten the lid tightly.

6. Shake the jar to distribute the vanilla bean and seeds through the sugar.

7. Leave the sugar to sit for 1-2 weeks.

Tips & Warnings

• The recipe is to taste, so if you prefer a stronger vanilla flavour, increase the sugar to vanilla bean ration. Either cut down on the amount of sugar or add in another vanilla bean.
• This sugar tastes great in coffee.
