    • DIY Mini Kit -- Don't bake? No problem!

    $18.00Price
    This product is for those that don't bake, but would love to make an extract for occasional use of flavoring in coffees, teas, smoothies, and other beverages. The vanilla in this DIY kit is enough to make 4 oz. of single-fold extract. Contains two plump and supple vanilla beans.

    • How to Make Vanilla Extract

      Remove the beans from the 4 oz capacity glass bottle. Split the beans lengthwise, but not all the way, so that the two halves stay connected at their ends. Place beans back in the bottle. Cover the beans with alcohol of choice, seal the bottle and give it a good shake. Allow the mixture to steep in a cool, dark place. Shake weekly for 6 weeks. The longer the beans remain in the alcohol, the stronger the vanilla flavor will be.

      Many home chefs love to have several extraction kits for various alcohols. Vodka is the standard in making extracts but bourbon, brandy, or rum are also very good.
