Dry some fresh picked fig leaves in your oven or dehydrator at 40C/100C for about 2 hours until dry and crispy. Then grind them into a powder and mix with sugar. This create an infused sugar with a unique nutty, coconuty flavour with a hint of green tea for use in desserts, beverages, and baked goods. Use it like you do with vanilla sugar.

- Pick and wash the fig leaves. Pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
- Place them in a dehydrator or oven and dry at 40C/100C for about 2 hours until they are completely dry. You want them to be totally crisp but not browning at all.
- Remove the stems and crumble them. Place them in a spice grinder and grind them into a powder. Mix with the sugar. Store in an airtight container.

It looks wonderfully green. I know that fig leaves also have medicinal powers and benefits, you can remove warts from the white milk from fig leaves.
Que ideal me parece este azucar con hojas de higuera. Me encantan estas hojas, la sombra que Dan en verano y el olor que desprenden.
