Vanilla Extract 101: How to make, ideas for spent pods, & taste test with different alcohols

[@trinapeddicord]

I believe the FDA recommends 1oz. of beans for every 8oz. of alcohol

[@pamelamcknight6948]

That is correct, we should weigh our beans for accurate amounts. Also the seeds does not have flavor, although I like seeing the seeds in my extract. The flavor is in the pod itself.

I made the extract before with vodka and loved it. I also made the vanilla sugar and gave to one of Aaron’s teachers. She was so pleased. I should try making extract with bourbon as you did. Bet that would be great in a sweet potato pie!

That's a great idea for a teacher present! Sweet potato pie sounds awesome 😊

I'm trying vodka and brandy since I had a big bottle of brandy I'm not using. The bourbon does sounds good

I just order 50 Madagascar vanilla beans for $33 off Amazon! .80 cents a piece!

[@jlynnc9559]

Amazon has 25 beans for approx $30. Great deal

[@mikesgarage394]

Pods are full of seeds, not beans. Good video though.
