We've made it easy to start your first vanilla extract. Simply choose the vanilla beans that you want and the bottle that you want, and you'll be ready to begin. The only thing that we can't sell you is the alcohol. You'll have to get that on your own. We recommend vodka with no artificial flavorings. Make sure it is between 35% - 50% alcohol (which is 70-100 proof).
What bean should you select? Here's how they smell and taste:
| Madagascar | Classic vanilla that most people begin with. Buttery and sweet. |
| Indonesian Papua | Smokey, sometimes dark and often fruity with cherry notes. |
| Ugandan | Rich, dried fruit with notes of figs and raisins. |
| Ecuadorian | Light, sweet, fruity with cherries and hints of licorice. |
| Mexican Veracruz | Caramel/mocha with hints of cocoa and a spicy vanilla kick. |
This kit includes 1oz of vanilla beans and an 8oz glass bottle. To make your first extract with this kit, follow these 4 simple steps:
- Put all the vanilla beans in the bottle.
- If the beans are too tall, cut them in half (or fold them and insert them into the bottle fold first) to make sure they are fully submerged in the alcohol.
- Fill the bottle with the alcohol you purchased. Leave a little air on top.
- Close the lid and store the extract in a cool/dark place for 12 months and...BOOM...your very own homemade vanilla extract!
