To preserve a used vanilla pod, it’s essential to keep it dry and protected from humidity, light and heat. Using a glass jar remains the most effective method. If you wish to incorporate it into an infused dessert such as milk or cream, it is advisable to grind it into a powder for better flavor diffusion.
