The intense vanilla flavor infuses perfectly into the granulated sugar, creating a versatile ingredient that adds sophisticated sweetness to coffee, tea, cookies, cakes, and more. Unlike store-bought versions, this homemade alternative delivers pure vanilla flavor without artificial additives and keeps indefinitely when properly stored. - Claude
*Serving suggestion only. 😂 If a food photo doesn't look like it was taken by a monkey named Frank, it was most likely AI generated and not the result of Frank's minimal culinary or photographic skills. Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures.

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Note: This recipe uses dry vanilla beans, which explains the higher ratio of beans to sugar compared to other methods. Recipes using fresh vanilla beans typically use one bean per 2 cups of sugar and don't require processing—just burying the scraped stuff from inside the bean in sugar for about a week.
