vanilla tea sugar
I stir this sugar into my herbal tea. The last I used it I was drinking Vanilla Hazelnut herbal Dessert Tea by Celestial Seasonings. Little black flecks of vanilla bean swam into every sip. It was lovely.
This sugar is also fantastic to use for the top of crème brûlée.
I stored mine in a Fido jar I found at World Market.
vanilla tea sugar
1 vanilla bean
2 cups (450 g) raw sugar (also called Turbinado or demerara sugar)
1. Slice the vanilla bean longways, and scrape out seeds with the side of a paring knife. In a medium bowl, stir vanilla bean seeds with sugar, breaking up as many of the clusters of seeds as you can.
2. Place sugar in an airtight container along with the vanilla pod.*
* Any time you use vanilla beans in the future, add them to the jar. If the whole pods have been steeped in cream (for crème brûlée or something), simply rinse the pods off, allow to dry, and add them to the jar.

Sounds yummy. I have some turbinado sugar left over from creme brulee I made awhile ago, that I was trying to find a use for. Great idea!
Thanks
photo question….your pictures always seems to have a seamless white background & very close detail…do tell what lens/camera you use & what you use for a backdrop to make it POP. THANKS!
Jaime – Do you take all of your own pictures? I love them! Your baby with the tomahto is precious.
What a great idea! And it would look so pretty — in the jar — on the table. Love it!
