  1. You got 98 vanilla beans for $30 - wow! This really intrigues me. I honestly have about 7 different brands of vanilla in my cupboard, because I love to try new ones to see how different they each are. You have really made me want to try and make my own vanilla. I might have to wait and check back with you in six months to see what you think about it! I would be the happiest person if someone gave me a bottle of homemade vanilla!

  2. I made vanilla for teacher's gifts a couple years ago. It was really fun but you do have to plan ahead. We didn't scrape out the meat of the bean though, just smooshed them and sliced them open. I'm interested to try it this was and see how it differs. Great tutorial.

  5. What a great idea and what a great price! I pay over $6 for two vanilla beans here in Alberta. This is totally something I'd like to try! :)

  9. Thanks for the in-depth tutorial! I had just ordered vanilla beans from Amazon. I paid around $8 with shipping for 10. They weigh one and a half ounces, so a little more expensive than yours, but since I'm only making enough for me right now, not too bad.

    I've seen some recipes, but had not read about scraping out the beans. Good to know. I just have to buy my vodka and get started!
