How to Make Chai Spiced Vanilla Sugar

  1. Toast the whole spices (cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon stick, star anise, and ajowan seeds) in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
  2. Allow the spices to cool slightly, then grind them using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder until finely powdered.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground spices, vanilla extract, and white sugar. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.
  4. Store the Chai Spiced Vanilla Sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. The flavors will deepen over time.
