Vanilla Extract


When I first got the beans in the mail (mid May) I chucked a couple into a small (375 ml) bottle of rum, as per the suggestion of chocolate & zucchini. Colored rum. So the color difference wasn't obvious. Started another batch in August, in the pics the beans have been in the vodka for an hour or 2, starting to get some color already. Seeds at the bottom look cool.

Update1: Late August. I also put some beans in with clear rum, and took the pics right away, so it's still perfectly clear.

Update 2: 29 October. The 2 bottles with clear booze are on the sides, the older one with colored rum is in the middle. Taste/smell are nice.
