I start by buying the best beans I can afford. I have found an internet site, that I buy them from. I've tried a couple sites and like this one the best. (spice fever is the person from ebay)
I then cut up the about 12-18 beans and put into a pot with 1 cup distilled water. I heat until boiling and then them boil for about 1 minutes to get the seeds out and the color started.
I put this into a sterilzed 1 quart jar, with the lid. Shake it everyday, a couple of times a day.
To this I add 16 ounce container of Vegetable Glycerine. I let this set for 2-4 weeks, depending on the color and fragrance I want.
This is the back of the Vegetable Glycerine bottle so that you can see it is a food grade product.
To be continued........
Here are the bottles that I use, I buy them from a health food store and then sterlized them, then add the finished vanilla. I use a small funnel with cheesecloth on it, and then pour the vanilla from the quart jar into about 8 small bottles. Label them and they are ready to go!
This is the front of the label.
This is the back of the label. I usually put on a 6 month expiration date, or can use the expiration date from the vegetable glycerine bottle.
