Raw Vanilla Extract

[safi456]

hello, i'd love to try this because i dont do alcoholic products, so extract is out of the question. pls can you tell me how much water u used with how many gms/ oz of vanilla bean? many thx.

If I want raw vanilla, I'd just use scraped vanilla seeds.. The whole point of vanilla extract is to have a concentrated vanilla flavour and that can only be achieved with an alcoholic solution to "extract" the flavour.

if the husk is tough, wouldn't that not be very nice t o eat? wouldn't you want to filter that fine husk?

how long does this stay?

Thanks great insight video, I will try this with my low speed blender, the trick would be to use less water (initially) in the milling attachment, then use the blender attachment to add additional water, if needed.

we get organic raw tahitian vanilla beans at our market for 75 cents each. incredible deal!

Thank you for the idea!

How much did you pay for those vanilla beans exactly? I'm sure it was a lot... It's not worth it... You can purchase great quality vanilla extract that will last a lot longer than a month... and for a lot less money.

Hey MarcusTheGrand! If you buy the beans in bulk you can get them for as little as 0.60 cents a piece which can be more affordable than the high quality liquid extracts. If you are mostly baking, it doesn't really make a difference, but in raw recipes that alcohol or glycerin flavor does change the flavor of recipes. But, extracts do work if that feels more affordable or practical for you.

@MarcusTheGrand you can buy them off Ebay at reasonable prices, but I agree organic vanilla beans (certified) would be very expensive

can u use one of those stick/emersion blenders w / same results?

[Chayavision11]

I"m guessing you mean the high powered blender with a plunger. If that is what you are saying then yes, you can use that. I would only recomend to have something planned to make in the blender than you would like a vanilla flavor in. After you pour out the bulk of the Liquid Vanilla, your blender and plunger will still be covered with that precious vanilla. So it's good to have a plan for utilizing what cannot be scraped out.
