Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wipe the vanilla pods with a clean cloth and place them on a lined baking tray.
  2. Bake at 120°C (250°F) for 10-15 minutes. Allow the pods to cool.
  3. Add the whole vanilla pods, along with the sugar to a food processor and process until you achieve your desired consistency (coarse or powdered).
  4. Transfer the Vanillezucker to airtight jars and keep in a cool and dry place.

Notes

  • You can use already-used vanilla bean pods. In this case, triple the amount of pods.
  • For storebought versions, you need 1-1½ teaspoons of vanilla sugar. For this homemade version, you'll need two teaspoons.
  • Feel free to increase or decrease the amount of vanilla, depending on how intense you would like the aroma to be.
  • Vanillezucker is a great DIY gift to give to loved ones during special occassions such as birthdays, or holidays such as Christmas.
  • The total time excludes the time needed to cool the vanilla bean pods.
