Vanilla Beans au Naturel

First off, "a chicken in every pot" and a vanilla bean in every sugar jar! Trust us. You'll never go back and everything with sugar will taste that much better. Whole or sliced, beans also make a decadent addition plopped into hot toddies, chai or hot chocolate. Heck, we even have friends who say they stash them in coat pockets, drop them in purses and bath oils, and tuck them inside pajama drawers for the blissful aroma!
