Here's something simple to jazz up your baked goods, vanilla sugar. It's super simple to make and adds a lovely hint of vanilla to recipes that call for sugar.
Vanilla Sugar
1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
2 cups sugar
1
Pour sugar into air-tight jar.
2
Scrape the insides of the vanilla bean into the sugar, then toss the bean in the sugar.
3
Close the lid and give the sugar a good shake.
4
Let the sugar and vanilla sit for a week or two and tada, you've got yourself vanilla sugar.

Ahh. Vanilla sugar so good, I made this cocktail recipe yesterday after I let my vanilla sugar sit three weeks in the pantry. FYI this is a great drink if your sick of the normal mojito (which is hard, I must admit
) this is a refreshing new take on a fresh tasty drink! Enjoy.
2 oz pomegranate juice
2 oz white rum
1 tbsp vanilla sugar
4 oz club soda
6 mint sprigs
cracked ice
In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients except the mint and shake well. Mull the mint in the bottom of a cocktail glass. Strain the pomegranate mixture into the glass with the mulled mint, and serve.
