I’ve lost my BEANS! 🫘
Not really. I’m just trying to make my own vanilla extract for the first time. It seems pretty straight forward which usually means I’m doing something wrong.
One bottle of liquor
2-3 vanilla beans per 100 mL of liquid
Time (shake it weekly for about 6 months)
Notes:
- What liquor do I use? Seems like this is a personal choice but I plan to try vodka for baking and bourbon for flavoring. I’ll report back after Christmas!
- My bottle is overflowing! Yep, I did the same thing. And shooting a shot before breakfast to deal with the overflow was not my finest moment.
