Vanilla Extract Recipe
1. Slice and Dice 1 oz of vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the seeds and pod.
2. Place beans in a clean 16 oz bottle (at least 9 oz).
3. Fill the bottle with 1 cup (8 oz) of vodka, rum, or bourbon that is at least 70 proof, ensuring the beans are fully submerged.
4. Seal the bottle and store in a cool, dark place, shake often. We recommend using as a stress relief. 😃
5. Allow to steep for 12 to 24 months for best flavor; longer for a richer extract.
 
Double and Triple Fold Explained
“Fold” refers to the strength of vanilla extract based on the bean-to-alcohol ratio:
• Single-fold: Standard strength, 1 oz of vanilla beans per 8 oz of alcohol.
• Double-fold: Twice as strong, 2 oz of vanilla beans per 8 oz of alcohol, delivering a more intense flavor.
• Triple-fold: Three times the strength, 3 oz of vanilla beans per 8 oz of alcohol, for an even deeper, richer vanilla taste.
 
For home use, single-fold extract is common, while double or triple fold is preferred by bakers and chefs for recipes needing bold vanilla flavor without using extra liquid
