DIY Vanilla Extract Kit

Craft Your Own Homemade Vanilla Extract

Kit Contents

• Swing-Top Bottle: A sturdy, reusable glass bottle with a swing-top closure, perfect for infusing and storing your vanilla extract. The airtight seal ensures freshness and preserves the rich flavor of your homemade extract.
• Funnel: A small, food-grade funnel is included for easy transferring of spirits into the bottle without spills or mess.
• 8-10 Grade A Madagascar Vanilla Beans: These premium vanilla beans are known for their intense aroma and rich, creamy flavor. Grade A beans are plump and moist, ideal for making high-quality extract.
• Label: A customizable label is provided to note important details, including the date you start your batch and the type of spirit (such as vodka, bourbon, or rum) you use. This helps you keep track of your infusion process and personalize each bottle.

How to Use Your Kit

1. Split the vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the seeds for maximum flavor extraction.
2. Place the beans into the swing-top bottle.
3. Use the funnel to pour your chosen spirit (at least 8 ounces) into the bottle, fully submerging the beans.
4. Seal the bottle tightly and attach the label, noting the start date and spirit used.
5. Store in a cool, dark place. Gently shake the bottle daily.
6. Allow the mixture to infuse for at least 6 months, then use your homemade vanilla extract in baking, cooking, or gifting.
