Notes
Is vanilla powder the same as vanilla bean powder?
Finely ground vanilla beans is also called vanilla powder because it is a single ingredient product. Vanilla bean powder is a two-ingredient product and will dissolve differently than vanilla powder. Vanilla bean powder is sweetened and vanilla powder is just vanilla beans
What do you do with the leftover vanilla bean pods?
Save the scraped vanilla bean pods and add them to any vanilla extract that you may be making.
Why is powdered sugar used instead of granular sugar?
When making vanilla bean powder use powdered sugar so that it can easily dissolve in cold drinks. Granular sugar can be used but you will need to pulse it longer in the blender and it still not dissolve completely in cold drinks.
Additionally, the small percentage of corn starch that is found in commercial powdered sugar will help keep this sugar from clumping.
How do you store the vanilla bean powder?
Keep the vanilla bean powder stored in a closed container, away from moisture and heat. A zip top bag or other air tight container will work well.
How much is a scoop of vanilla bean powder when making Starbucks drinks?
When the recipe calls for a 'scoop' it means 1 teaspoon of powder.
