How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract - CHOW

[piepie123987]

why not just buy a bottle instead of waiting a month?

[Smillez06]

for the price of the rum and vanilla beans you get much more yield than if you were to buy bottled extract.

[grabberguy15]

Haha this makes me laugh. this is vanilla flavoured rum NOT vanilla extract! the ratio for Legal vanilla extract is 8:1 8oz vodka to 1 oz vanilla bean which is about 8 beans.

[kingbacca]

fuck dat plan.

drink the rum and make an vanilla cake while drunk.

[hedgehogfrenzy1]

But I want to make cookies NOW!!!

[Kashimify]

moron, buying the bean stalk is more expensive than just buying the extract.

[pokemongirl619]

wait what a month umm no thanks

[TheJethrotull32]

most fuckin usles shit ever

[renman1669]

That's not real vanilla extract anyway. To have real vanilla extract you need at least 8 vanilla beans per cup of alcohol. What this video shows is how to make vanilla flavored rum.

I use vanilla all the time, for pastry cream, custards, cake fillings and ice cream sundaes! You can get the torch and ramekins and vanilla beans at : Chef Depot .com there is a free recipe to make your own Vanilla Extract.

So your telling me that buying vanilla beans, rum and waiting a month is cheaper then buying a $5 bottle of perfectly good vanilla extract. No thanks.

[lighto999]

lol @ how fast she said "in about a month"

[khasa1994]

its more cheap the original. Vainilla vins is very very expensive

[shifttradition]

umm vanilla bean is much more expensive than vanilla extract. is has better flavor also

[grabberguy15]

@shifttradition I buy vanilla beans for 62 cents a bean for grade A beans

[LittoBUbbo]

@grabberguy15 where are you buying these? i can never find the beans

[grabberguy15]

@LittoBUbbo you can find them on ebay, where I buy mine they do not sent to the united states due to customs/boarder reasons.

[thelumbahjack]

@grabberguy15 where? im looking to buy! hahaha

[thelumbahjack]

@shifttradition u can buy vanilla beans for really cheap in bulk... like $20 for a whole lbs... 2 beans... a lil splash of vodka. CHEAP

[Nidder1]

Try real vanilla extract folks, not the artificial kind. There is a difference.

[ForeMoster]

about a month . . . O_o that's long time isn't it?

[mishmishow]

can i use anything instead of rum or something free of Alcohol

[PhuckHue2]

is there a neutral tasting alcohol. I don't want everything to taste like rum

[Nidder1]

Try vodka.

[Chrisiscool229]

@PhuckHue2 No shit, It's called vodka. I'm 15 and have never even drunk before and I know that.

[PhuckHue2]

@Chrisiscool229 yuck

[Chrisiscool229]

@PhuckHue2 Wtf? You asked what a neutral tasting alcohol is... the neutral tasting alcohol is vodka, it has no taste. How can you say yuck? Dumb fucking idiot, go suck a dick.

[crazycamboolo]

YES!!! now i can finally put my lifetime supply of rum and vanilla beans to use!

[xarriluseth]

lol

show tits in the beginning

[rozhan17]

do ya have anything that doesnt involve liquor i hate cooking with liquor i never do its just not healthy !

[vegstacie]

Extracts are alcohol and water. It's not about the liquor.

[ChocolateMuffinEater]

in ireland vanilla extract is like a euro for a bottle. rum is about 26 euro for a bottle. vanilla pods are about 8 euro for a pack...

[Nidder1]

Artificial vanilla is very cheap here too. And wow! You pay a lot for your alcohol... guess it's trade off in our favour.
