For a more intense vanilla flavor, use two vanilla beans. Replace the vanilla bean periodically as the flavor diminishes. Vanilla sugar can be used in place of regular sugar in most recipes. It adds a lovely depth of flavor to cookies, cakes, muffins, coffee, tea, and more. Don't discard the spent vanilla bean! Place it in a jar of spirits, such as vodka or rum, to create your own vanilla extract.
