How to Use Vanilla Sugar
Once ready, vanilla sugar can be used in endless ways:
- Stir it into coffee, tea, or hot chocolate
- Sprinkle it over pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal
- Use it in cakes, cookies, or muffins for a subtle vanilla boost
- Add a spoonful to whipped cream or yogurt for a delicate aroma
- Dust it over fresh fruit or baked apples for a touch of elegance
Pro Tips
- If you run out of sugar, just refill the jar with more — the vanilla pods will keep infusing for months!
- You can even use spent vanilla pods (after using them in another recipe) to make vanilla sugar — nothing goes to waste.
- For extra fragrance, add a few drops of pure vanilla extract before sealing the jar.
