Vodka or bourbon for vanilla extract?

I haven’t tried the Tahitian vanilla beans yet, but I’ve used the Madagascar ones. I used Tito‘s vodka and wild turkey bourbon and both come out beautifully. The vodka based is my favorite for baking and I love to use the Bourbon based in my homemade Kahlúa and it adds a beautiful smooth flavor. I do 5 beans split and cut in 1/2 in 8oz’s of liquor, put it in a cool dry place and let set 2 months shaking occasionally.

This might be a dumb question, but can you open these & there’s a pod or a bean inside?

Not a dumb question, what is pictured is the pod/bean. Inside are tiny seed that can be scraped out with a knife. With this particular grade of vanilla bean (B), I would recommend just chopping them up or just splitting them open and drop in the alcohol of your choice to make extract. If you want the seeds for a recipe, I would recommend grade A beans.

Ann I do not know. If there was a date on the package I did not look for it as my wife wanted to use them right away to make vanilla extract by using the beans and vodka.

Where are these vanilla beans harvested from?

These beans are grown in Indonesia by our network of farmers.
