Arts &Crafts, How-To's, Upcycling & Repurposing

I’m always up for a little added flavor in things. Like lemon in a blueberry cookie or coffee in brownies. What I really like ? Is vanilla. You can add vanilla in a lot of food & beverages and it will taste delicious! 😋

Today I bring you, vanilla sugar.

Super simple to make!

Supplies needed:

• Jar or container with lid

• Measuring cup

• Sugar – enough to fill your jar or container.

• Vanilla bean(s)

• Label & marker

Step 1:

Really easy! Start by pouring some sugar into your jar/container about 1/4 of the way full.

Step 2:

Cut the ends off your vanilla bean and break the rest of the bean into 1/2”-1” size pieces.

Place a couple pieces of the vanilla bean onto the sugar in your jar/container.

Step 3:

Add more sugar.

Repeat steps until your jar/container is full.

Place the lid on and label it.

All you have to do now is wait. I had mine for 1-2 weeks before I used it and it was good.

Here are some ideas you can make with it –

• Lemonade

• Cookies

• Bread

• In coffee

• Donuts

Instead of adding a vanilla bean you could also zest a lemon or orange and put it in the sugar.

Enjoy!
