Just a side note: when I first started making vanilla extract (really, a tincture!) I discovered my vanilla beans were all dry. I had gotten them from the grocery, and who knows how old they were. The ones you get from the Vanilla Bean Kings (yes, I buy those, too) are soft, pliable, and moist. But I watched a video from Melissa K. Norris, and she said to cut those dry beans into approx. 1-inch pieces before using. It worked VERY WELL! I now store vanilla beans in a vacuum-sealed jar for the future to keep them ready-to -use. I also have a pint jar of organic sugar with a couple dried out cut up vanilla beans to make vanilla sugar. I keep it going, too.

I love the idea of gifting a bottle with bean for Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration.

There’s nothing like the warm, sweet scent of vanilla, pure enchantment for the senses and the taste? Even better! One of Mother Nature’s finest treasures gifted to this spinning blue world, the magical vanilla bean brings its charm to countless creations, casting its spell wherever it goes!

Yes! You are a wonderful inspiration, I have learned so much from you! Thank you for all you do.

I started a batch last spring with spiced rum hoping to give as gifts this Christmas. I checked it early Sept and decided I hadn't used enough beans so I added the original amount again. Just checked again and it smells so good! I ordered little bottles that come with a cute label.

I have been making vanilla extract for years. I use Vodka, Rum and Bourbon. I only use 6 beans per jar and cut 3 of them in half. Keep them in a dark cool spot in your pantry for 6 months to a year before use. I have 6 bottles that I rotate. When a bottle gets half full, I add another bean and top it off moving it to the back. Better than store bought.

Just another obsession of mine making vanilla Your going love your new journey!

I like to slice the beans to get the rich seeds out

[@traceyhudson5883]

For the perfect smooth vanilla taste & scent, add one tablespoon Orange Blossom honey per quart to the steeping vanilla bean mix. Perfection!

I remember that I made vanilla over 10 years ago... but I don't think 🤔 I used enough vanilla beans... I think yours will be wonderful! I love the swing lid bottles!

[@sued.530]

A few years ago after seeing the price of a bottle of vanilla in the stores, I decided to make my own with a bottle of vanilla bourbon and spiced rum. I just split the vanilla beans and put them in the original bottles and let them set. Both turned out great but now I need to make more so thanks so much for the demo before the holidays. I also gently shook mine daily for a month releasing the vanilla bits. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and prayers for mom..

I have made vanilla before. There is a facebook co-op where I bought Madagascar beans.

[@UrbanHomesteader101]
