Vanilla Extract Kit for Homemade Baking Flavor with Madagascar Grade A Beans and an 8.5 oz Swing-Top Jar

This vanilla extract kit helps you make your own baking flavor from Madagascar Grade A vanilla beans. Each kit brings together 1 oz of beans, an 8.5 oz swing-top glass jar and a label to track your batch, so you can start a homemade extract for cookies and other baked treats.

Add your own alcohol, then let the beans steep over time. Split the beans lengthwise, cut them into smaller pieces and place them in the jar. Add 8 oz of vodka, rum, bourbon or brandy to fully submerge them, and shake the jar once or twice a week. Allow approximately 6 months to 1 year for extraction; this is a project to start ahead of your baking plans.
