I did and hope u do too.
Gather ur ribbons and pretty jars , i have jus the rite fun for u , and well if they are in Red, Green and white, Santa make want some too.
To begin with i have a very lightly spiced Vanilla sugar with jus a hint of lavender, lavender coz it so romantic , as is vanilla , as is Christmas , Oh never mind:-)
And see the layers , i mixed it all later but couldn resist begining with pretty layers ....
All there is to it is sugar , sugar with lods and lodsss of vanilla , seeds scraped out the beans,some more sugar and some more vanilla.
And one layer is this lightly spiced brown sugar.
and ur can use some for ur cafe too..
Later u can have little jars to give away , add lods of ribbons , a cute tag and u'll have everybody smiling.
Oh so pretty and oh so good!
SPiced Vanilla Sugar,layered or no
Vanilla Sugar is every bodies fav for so many a reason and more so for Christmas!
And this one is lightly spiced and with an addition of brown sugar.
Well this big jar holds more than a kg of sugar.
Add a cup of sugar to the jar.
Add a cup of sugar to a bowl and scrape as many beans as u want into it and mix well , so u'll have almost black sugar.
Pour over the sugar in the jar ,and then repeat to get layers or jus mix it all together.
Add this this lightly spiced brown sugar, if u want too.
You can leave it in layers or give it a good shake after a day or 2 as i did.
Well u can add 3 beans upto 14 beans or more.
i have a good supply so i added lods of gourmet bourbon beans.
Red & Green Vanilla Sugar
This is soo good for those who dont find sanding colored sugar easily and its sooo easy.
All u need is sugar and gel colors of ur choice.
I added Vanilla too , so i have Colored Vanilla Sugar.
Perfect for lods of things, and so easy.
Lemme show u step by step how its done.
Ready....??
***First u begin by taking sugar in 2 jars of ur choice.
***then scrape a bean or 2 into both the jars {this is optional}and mix well with a fork so u spread the beans around , not too muc coz when u shake things up later they well spread well too.
***take ur fav gel color , i took the 2 Christmas colors..
add a few drops , close the lid tight and shake things up really well to mix throughly, if u want it darker/deeper u can add more , begin with little at a time.
***and red sugar ready....
***Same way with green vanilla sugar and here's our green sugar ready.
Yeah i sure am using lods of beans , if ur wondering , besides Vanilla sugar what i do with the beans after i scrape the seeds, well i have jus an idea for u , i have a large jar filled with 50% alchl vodka , i add them all there ,and then with this vanilla vodka , i make extract with Vanilla seeds et all.
