nukeswife Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I think the title says it all. My MIL and FIL sent me some amazon gift cards for the holidays and I'd like to try making my own vanilla, but I'm not sure if the vanilla beans on amazon would be a good buy or not.

AndyJoy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I bought these beans. This makes a lot! I just remembered I still have some more to use. I think I went with 12 beans per 750ml bottle of Smirnoff to make it nice and strong. I bought these bottles which are pretty large at 8-oz but they are adorable!

Miss Peregrine Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 They look like a good price to me. Reviews were favorable on the Madagascar beans I looked at. I will probably order from Amazon next time I need beans. I ordered from ebay last time but that was years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susann Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I like the Madagascar beans, too. FWIW don't use the cute little bottles with the cork stoppers-the vanilla will evaporate. Go ahead ask me how I know :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks all, I ended up buying some beans from beanilla.com because that way I could buy just smaller amounts of different varieties. I bought some madagascar and tahiti beans. I figured I'd find my own bottles out there so I could make sure they have a good cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
