What is Vanilla Extract vs. Vanilla Sugar?
The difference between the two is that one is sugar but blended with vanilla extract, and the other is extracted from vanilla beans. Also, artificial esters can be used.
Make your vanilla sugar at home very quickly. Split a vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds, and burying the split vanilla bean into a container of sugar. Store it in a canister of sugar for a week so that the flavors can blend. The vanilla bean will flavor the sugar with its delicious scent and taste that will improve everything from a cake or a Banana Orange Smoothie. Vanilla sugar is also useful as a substitute for regular sugar in almost anything that would benefit from a vanilla undertone, and it is much better for you than regular sugar.
You can make your own homemade Vanilla Extract by using Vanilla Seeds, Wodka, some regular shaking, and a lot of patience. Because it takes about three to four weeks to make the Extract, according to Laura in the Kitchen. She made a great video where you can see how to make Homemade Vanilla Extract quickly and affordably.
