Instructions

Place the vanilla beans in your dehydrator.
Dehydrate on a low setting (around 95°F/35°C) until the beans are completely dry and brittle. You should be able to snap them easily in half. This can take 8–12 hours depending on your machine and humidity.
Once dry, break the beans into small pieces to make them easier to grind.
Using a clean coffee grinder or spice grinder, grind the bean pieces until you have a fine, fragrant powder. You may need to sift and re-grind any larger chunks.
Transfer the vanilla powder to an airtight container or spice jar. Label and date it, then store it in a cool, dark cupboard.
