Nutmeg Free Vanilla Sugar
There is something almost magical about turning two humble pantry staples into a fragrant, aromatic sugar that elevates everything it touches. A split vanilla bean slowly perfumes the granulated sugar over the course of a week, coaxing out a deep, floral sweetness that store-bought vanilla sugar rarely matches. Because the only ingredients are sugar and a real vanilla bean, this is a wonderfully clean recipe — no blends, no mystery spice mixes, and absolutely nothing to second-guess. It works beautifully stirred into coffee, dusted over baked goods, or used anywhere you'd reach for plain sugar when you want just a little more warmth and complexity. The daily shake is oddly satisfying, and by day seven the whole jar smells like a bakery. Make a batch, tuck it on your counter, and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
