Citrus Free Vanilla Sugar
Warm, floral, and deeply aromatic, this infused sugar is one of those pantry staples that quietly elevates everything it touches — from morning coffee to weekend baking. It's made with just two ingredients, which means there's absolutely nothing hiding in the mix that could cause a problem for anyone avoiding citrus. No extracts, no flavored blends, no mystery additives — just granulated sugar and a real vanilla bean doing their slow, fragrant work together. The process is beautifully low-effort: split the pod, scrape the seeds, tuck everything into a jar, and let time handle the rest. After about a week of daily shaking, you're left with sugar that smells like a bakery and tastes like pure comfort. Use it to sweeten whipped cream, dust over shortbread, or stir into oatmeal anywhere you'd normally reach for plain sugar and want something a little more special.
