vanilla pod...vanilla sugar

I nak tunjuk kat u all rupa fresh vanilla...called as vanilla pod...actually the tiny beans dalam vanilla pod yg bagi flavour.I dapat hadiah vanilla pod..hehehe...someone gave it to me.all the way from singapore..kalau u all pegi tesco..tengok kat section herbs..ada kan brand mccormick...dalam bottle 3 stick vanilla pod rm27..mahal giler..so i tak penah beli la..coz i tgk vanilla dia macam skinny..maybe pasai nak masuk dalam bottle di vacum terlebih dahulu..Actually the best vanilla is from madagascar..then tahiti..then indonesia...and a few places more..yg i ingat madagascar,tahiti ngn indon je..hikhikhik...

ni la vanilla beans.this tiny little things  yg bagi  aroma to vanilla essence..Tradisionally,mat saleh wat vanilla essence pakai vodka..or any liquer.dieorang akan rendam vanilla pod ni dalam vodka...sampai la vodka tu berubah kaler jadik hitam..so they will get the real thing la...homemade vanilla essence..

ok..ni pulak final product..Homemade vanilla sugar..u leh wat cake using this sugar,wat caramel pudding,buat creme brulee,buat custard(recomended)..and boleh buat apa saja yg pakai vanilla...macam kita buat cake biasa..but for me..kalau nk buat kek biasa kita pakai vanilla essence yg biasa pun dah ok..kalau buat kek pakai benda ni alamatnya bankrup la...heheh...
