Organic Vanilla Beans - Madagascar Bourbon | SpiceBloom NZ
- 1. The Ultimate Extract: Don't buy expensive extract! Drop 4-6 split pods into a cup of vodka. Let steep for 8 weeks. You now have pure, homemade vanilla extract forever.
- 2. Vanilla Sugar: After you scrape out the seeds for a recipe, don't throw the pod away! Bury the empty pod in a jar of sugar. In a week, you'll have luxurious vanilla sugar for your morning coffee.
- 3. Infused Milk: Simmer a whole split pod in milk or cream to create a rich base for custards and ice creams. 🧠 Good to Know: The "Frost" (It's NOT Mold!)
Occasionally, you might see delicate white crystals form on the surface of your beans. This is called "Vanillin Bloom."
It is a natural crystallization of the pure vanillin oils coming to the surface. It is a sign of exceptional quality and high oil content. It is completely safe, edible, and the hallmark of a properly cured bean. 📦
