How to Use Sumatra Vanilla Beans
For Vanilla Extract: Use a ratio of 1 oz of beans for every 8 oz of alcohol. These beans shine in bourbon-based extracts, where their earthy, mocha notes complement the spirit's caramel undertones. Allow to age up to 1 year for light spirits or 18-24 months for dark spirits for optimal flavor development.
For Baking & Cooking: Split the bean lengthwise and scrape out the caviar (seeds) to infuse into custards, ice cream bases, cakes, cookies, and sauces. The spent pod can be added to sugar to create vanilla sugar or simmered in milk or cream for additional flavor extraction.
