Step 1

First you need to dry out the vanilla pods. To do this simply place the pods on  a lined baking tray in the oven at 50 degrees Celcius for an hour and a half. *

Step 2

Once the pods have cooled , simply pop into a spice grinder or use a hand mixer / blender to grind them down into a fine powder. **

Step 3

The vanilla powder can then be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark area (like a cupboard). This will then keep for around a year!
