Homemade Vanilla Sugar

Hey Roheena, using vanilla extract directly with sugar could cause it to clump or melt due to the liquid. You can use 2 Tbsp of vanilla paste or vanilla extract for 2 cups of sugar; however, both will add colour and moisture. This added moisture can impact your baking recipes. If needed, you can try spreading the sugar to help it dry out, but keep in mind that the results may not be the same. Hope this helps for now ✨

Hey there, Grace, vanilla pod is the whole bean from the vanilla plant that contains tiny, aromatic seeds inside. It's often available in larger grocery stores in the spices or baking section 🤗

Delighted to hear you enjoyed the Vanilla Spiced Chai latte mix! Indeed, a food processor can help prevent clumping in heat. Cheers to many more flavourful recipes, Carol 🤗

Mmm sounds so lovely, Martunia, thank you 🥰

Hey Kelly! Thanks for the question 😃 We mainly enjoy using vanilla sugar instead of general sugar to flavour baked goods, tea, and coffee. It works especially nicely sprinkled on to baked goods, or in fillings such as in our sponge cake recipe here: pickuplimes.com/recipe/vegan-…. If you're looking for another drink recipe, we'd recommend our Vanilla Coconut Matcha Latte if you haven't already seen it: pickuplimes.com/recipe/vanill…

Woohoo! So happy to hear, Domi 🙂

So happy to hear, Maggie!

Greetings, Lisa, thanks for the heads up! We'll take a look into the links not working, although we suspect it may be due to different regions automatically redirecting from our intended link or product. Sending hugs to Cape Cod 🤗

Hi Melissa, that's a lovely question. The vanilla flavour tends to be stronger with granulated sugar but cane sugar is fine to use. You can always add less of the vanilla sugar to recipes to start and add more if a stronger vanilla taste or sweetness is desired 🙂

Hi there, Rachel, we're so thrilled the recipes were enjoyed! It means so much ☺️ Sending an abundance of love and gratitude to San Diego💚

Hi Saif, aw thanks for the support and for the question as well 🙂 We've used vanilla powder before and found that it left a bit of a grainy texture in the drink (if you're using it in drinks as we did). With that said, you can definitely still use it, but maybe try using less to start. You can always add more to your drink if you feel you'd like more of a vanilla taste. In this case, use the same amount of sugar as indicated, and start with just a little bit of vanilla powder mixed in. I can't say exactly how much, as we haven't tried it, but a teaspoon or two should do the trick. Again, best to add less at first, and you can always add more later if you think it needs it. Do let us know how it goes if you experiment with it!
