To make vanilla extract with grade b extract beans
Step one: chop, split or scrap .83 ounces of vanilla beans to every eight ounce alcohol (it does not matter if you chop, spilt or scrap a vanilla bean when making vanilla extract the most important aspect is both the inner and outer surface area of the pod is exposed to the alcohol)
Step two: add vanilla beans to a jar and cover with the recommended amount of alcohol. Not sure how much alcohol you need? Do not worry, each size comes with a vanilla extract recipe printed right on the label.
The recipe is based off the FDA standard definition of vanilla extract. This way you can be sure you get a full-flavored vanilla extract each and every time you shop.
Step three: seal tightly and shake like you are a bartender in college. Continue to shake at least once a week for a minimum of 90 days. Some people like to age longer but the choice is up to you.
Step four: strain the vanilla through a small strainer, coffee filter or chinois and bottle. If you are planning on making vanilla extract for gifts, we highly recommend making your vanilla extract in one large batch and separate into smaller gift sized bottles once fully aged.
The benefits of doing this ensure your vanilla flavor profile is the same for everyone. It also allows your to filter your vanilla to remove the vanilla pulp that commonly floats around in your spice jar or container when making vanilla extract. The result is a beautiful clean dark amber colored liquid that is full of flavor and looks just as good or better than any name brand.
