Chocolate and Vanilla Extract

Chocolate and Vanilla Extract

From page 92 of our best-selling book, "The Art of Extract Making", enjoy a video tutorial of how to make an extract with our two favorite flavors - chocolate & vanilla with Sri Lankan vanilla beans and cacao nibs together in one sweet extract. It's a great way to capture the taste of a unique extract blend for use all year round in cakes, brownies, creams and other desserts - even a sweet splash in your morning cup of coffee. 
Watch our chocolate changeout after 3 months:

More video tutorials will be posted below as we complete this extract.

Hi Linda, it would be so handy if insta-pots could be used to make extracts but we don’t recommend putting alcohol in pressurized appliances.

If you have one, a Sous Vide can be used to decrease the time it takes for extraction though. You can find out more in our blog post titled ‘The Gingrich’ by copying and pasting the link below into your browser.

Please feel free to get in touch with any other questions!

Can I make this extract using a insta pot? I don’t have the patience to make vanilla the old fashioned way any more. Waiting a year. Ack!

Love these beans!

When I opened these beans, the aroma of chocolate was the first thing I noticed! So good! I have them extracting in white rum. It’s going to be worth the wait. Yum!

I love the Lindi Tanzania beans. A bold, pronounced flavor of vanilla, along with the sweet and bold flavors of spiciness.

These beans were beautiful

These beans were beautiful, long and full of caviar. I made three orders and every order the beans were just outstanding. They are without a doubt the best beans I have ordered from any company hands down. The beans arrived shrink wrapped which I always appreciate and when opening the beans the vanilla aroma smells so good.
