Pure Vanilla Extract

The beans stay in the jar.

Madagascar beans, split by hand, and premium vodka. That is the whole list. It sits in a dark cabinet for months, and we shake it when we walk past. We do not filter it, so the seed specks stay in, and we leave pieces of bean in the jar you get, where they keep working. Top it up with a little vodka as you use it and it keeps going for a long time.

Imitation vanilla is synthetic vanillin, usually made from wood pulp or petroleum, dissolved in water and colored brown. Real extract is beans, alcohol and patience, and there is no shortcut through the patience.
