Vanilla Or Herb Sugar

1. 1

   Gently bruise the herbs with a mortar to bring out their aromatic oils, then mix them with the sugar and citrus zest.

2. 2

   Put the herbs and sugar in a jar and cover tightly.

3. 3

   For the next two weeks, give the sugar a shake or stir every few days to spread the aromatic oils around and to break up any clumps.

4. 4

   After 2 weeks, the sugar will be infused with the herb's flavor.

5. 5

   Strain the sugar, discard the herbs and zest (you can reuse the vanilla bean or hard spices), and store, tightly covered in a cool and dry place. Will keep for up to one year.

6. 6

   Makes a lovely gift in a jar, tied with a ribbon and herb sprig tucked in! Attach a recipe card, et voila!
