If you don't have a spice grinder powerful enough to break down whole pods, you can make a blended vanilla sugar powder (similar to the Starbucks vanilla bean powder style):
Fresh Vanilla Pods
1. Scrape the sticky seeds (the caviar) out of 2 fresh vanilla beans.
2. Combine the seeds with 1 cup of powdered sugar (or a dry powdered sweetener of your choice) in a standard blender.
3. Pulse until completely combined. This gives you an off-white powder speckled with fine vanilla flecks.
To use: substitute for vanilla extract 1:1 in recipes.
