How to Make French Lavender And Vanilla Sugar For Elegant Cakes And Bakes
Gently place 1 cup of dried French lavender buds and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar into a food processor or spice grinder.
Pulse until the lavender is finely ground, resembling a spice (about 1 minute).
In a large bowl, combine the ground lavender-sugar mixture with 4 cups of granulated sugar.
Mix thoroughly until the lavender is evenly distributed.
In a tall, attractive jar (Kilner jars are ideal), pour half of the lavender sugar mixture.
Add 3 Tahitian vanilla beans, placing them towards the outside of the jar so they are visible.
Carefully add the remaining lavender sugar, ensuring the vanilla beans remain upright.
Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a dark, cool, and dry place for at least 2 weeks to allow the flavors to meld.
After 2 weeks, your sugar is ready to use! The vanilla beans can be reused several times.
Store in a cool, dark, and dry place for up to 1 year.
