Instructions
Preparation
- Add 1 cup brown sugar to a clean bowl.
- Stir in 1/3 cup oil to start. Mix well until every grain is lightly coated.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, and stir.

Notes
Use once a week for best results. Store in a cool, dry place without water exposure. If you see mold or off-smells, discard and make a new batch. Can be a great gift in small jars.
