Xanthan Gum Free Vanilla Sugar

There is something quietly magical about turning two simple pantry staples into an ingredient that elevates everything it touches. A whole vanilla bean — pod and seeds together — slowly perfumes a jar of granulated sugar over the course of a week, building a depth of flavor that store-bought vanilla sugar rarely matches. For anyone navigating ingredient labels carefully, this recipe is as clean as it gets: just sugar and a real vanilla bean, nothing else. No fillers, no flow agents, no additives that can sneak into commercially blended products. The process is almost meditative — a daily shake of the jar, a growing fragrance, and then a finished product you made entirely yourself. Use it to sweeten coffee, dust over baked goods, or stir into whipped cream for an instant upgrade. Once you have a jar on the counter, you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
