Cinnamon Free Vanilla Sugar
Warm, floral, and deeply aromatic, this infused sugar is the kind of pantry staple that quietly elevates everything it touches — from morning coffee to weekend baking. It's made with just two ingredients: granulated sugar and a single vanilla bean, so there's absolutely nothing hidden in the mix. That simplicity is a genuine relief when you're navigating recipes that often sneak in warming spices without a second thought. The vanilla bean does all the heavy lifting here, perfuming the sugar over the course of a week as the pod and seeds slowly release their natural fragrance. A daily shake keeps things moving and ensures every granule ends up beautifully scented. Once it's ready, you'll find yourself reaching for this jar constantly — it's a subtle but transformative swap in any recipe that calls for plain sugar.
