Homemade Vanilla Extract Infusion Kit

A: Hello,
Thank you for your questions, you will use 28-30 vanilla beans per liter, splitting down the side is recommended. You can pour out some of the extract and add more to the liter.

A: Hello,
Thank you for your question, the use of alcohol is important, allowing the vanilla oils to be pulled from the bean better than any glycerins.

A: Yes they are giving you a discount for buying the entire kit. Not worries.

A: I would do two bottle. The vanilla is strong just with one set of beans and I tend to decrease the amount already.

A: Thank you for your question, as long as you store the extract in a cool dry place the color of the bottle will not matter. Keep the liquid out of direct sunlight which will promote mold.

A: Hello,
Thank you for your question, we are in the middle of one of the largest vanilla bean shortages since 2003. Crops are 40% of what they should be around the world. With the demand for vanilla staying the same the cost has tripled. It is not just the infusion kits that have increased in price, all vanilla products have gone up.

A: 80 proof will work fine, 70 is the minimum recommended.

A: I am not the experrt on vanilla extract ....do not think you can keep adding alcohol....LeRoy

A: Hi Barry. Excellent question. You can leave the vanilla beans and sediment in the bottle as long as the pods remain covered. Over time the extract will continue to become more and more concentrated if the beans are kept inside the jar. Alternatively, if you prefer the clean look of a filtered extract, feel free to remove the pods and filter out the sediment after steeping for at least 8 weeks. At this point, the majority of the extraction has taken place and it is safe to remove the pods.

I hope that helps. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Happy extracting!

A: Thank you for contacting us! Alcohol is the necessary solvent to extract flavor. All true extracts must contain 35% alcohol, or 70 proof, in accordance with the FDA's requirement for commercial grade extracts. If an extract does not contain alcohol then it is considered a flavor and cannot be considered a true extract.

As for what alcohol is better? That really is a matter of personal preference. Vodka is the most commonly used alcohol, however one can use any kind of alcohol and make a delicious extract. The type of alcohol used may impart different results of the extract's flavor profile. Upon reading customer reviews, comments, and researching this subject I found the following:

Vodka - produces a cleaner and lighter extract.
Rum - produces a sweeter, and warm extract.
Bourbon - produces a heavier and more complex extract.
Brandy - produces a bold and strong extract.
