Carrageenan Free Vanilla Sugar

Making your own vanilla sugar is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off in a big way. Store-bought flavored sugars and vanilla products can sometimes sneak in additives and stabilizers you'd rather avoid, so starting from scratch with just two ingredients keeps things completely clean and simple. A single vanilla bean split and nestled into granulated sugar transforms over the course of a week into something deeply fragrant and subtly floral — far more nuanced than anything from a packet. The daily shake is almost meditative, and by day seven you'll have a jar of perfumed sugar that elevates everything from morning coffee to baked goods. Use it anywhere you'd reach for plain sugar and want a quiet hit of vanilla without reaching for extract or flavored syrups. It's the kind of pantry staple that feels a little luxurious but costs almost nothing to make.
